Coretta Scott King Award winner.
I haven't been to Heaven, but I've been to Dayton, back when my relatives were living there. Ohio is the 17th state and the "Buckeye State" - the Ohio Buckeye is the state tree.

Publisher Comments:
Marley has lived in Heaven since she was two years old, when her mother found a postcard postmarked HEAVEN, OH on a park bench and decided that was where she wanted to raise her family.
And for twelve years, Marley's hometown has lived up to its name. She lives in a house by the river, has loving parents, a funny younger brother, good friends, and receives frequent letters from her mysterious Uncle Jack. Then one day a letter arrives form Alabama, and Marley's life is turned upside down. Marley doesn't even know who she is anymore — but where can she go for answers, when she's been deceived by the very people she should be able to trust the most?
Ohio state flag taken from the Flags of the World (FOTW) website and converted to jpg format. All credits for flag graphics are as shown at FOTW. I love that this flag is NOT a rectangle. :)
2016 update: not sure this is the right cover, but it's more interesting than the generic one.
Here's another copy on my BookCrossing shelf.
