Description

<p>FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES<br /><br />At barely nineteen, Angelica Donovan became one of the more successful winners of the T.V. show Our Next Super Model. The world assumed she was destined for a happy, fairy tale life as ‘Angel,’ the beautiful girl who was living the dream; sadly, that wasn’t to be the case. As the years passed, she flashed her million dollar smile to all her fans and fought to stay on top in a profession where you never knew who it was safe to trust while the fashion industry took big bites out of her heart and soul. And trust was a constant challenge for Angel due to the painful childhood secret she guarded as carefully as she did her heart. As a result, she never did find her true love on earth.<br /><br />When she wakes up ‘dead’ from a heart condition a month before her thirty-fifth birthday, Angel is at first relieved to find there is no death, just a change of state, like ice to water, and then she’s scared because her biggest and most important adventure is about to begin.<br /><br />Angelica is chosen to be an angel in training as a spirit guide for three souls on earth! Her assignment is to help two women to gain the courage and confidence to find, recognize and embrace the love that had eluded Angel in life. But her biggest challenge will be to save a very special little girl from the same evil experience that had poisoned Angel’s own earthly happiness and altered the course of her life.<br /><br />Will Angel be able to heal her own shattered soul in the process? And will the three souls she is guiding be able to recognize her, not as a ghostly threat, but as one of those ‘friends in high places’ we all have; the kind who often end up earning their wings.<br /><br /> </p>

Story Behind The Book

The story was inspired when Cheryl's son Dylan had a difficult time weaning off of the pacifier. She wrote a nursery rhyme about The Paci Pixie to help her son. Her cousin and co-author Amy Perreault suggested they write a book to accompany the nursery rhyme. Her husband, Steven Perreault, a graphic designer created The images in the book. Also another family member, Lynne Hajjar, Amy's sister can be heard singing the nursery rhyme and speaking the audiobook. The work is truly a family affair.

You have to get this book!</p> </blockquote> <p class="quote-author">Chantelle Smith <span class="costumer-title"> - Melrose, MA</span></p> </div> <div class="quote-post"> <blockquote> <p>The Paci Pixie is so beautifully done! The story, the illustrations, the incredible attention to the tiniest details gave me goose bumps and a sense of awe with every page we turned. My daughter quickly overcame her fear of losing the paci because the authors transform that fear into a magical journey. This book is perfect for baby showers and new parents everywhere!</p> </blockquote> <p class="quote-author">Paula Lekas <span class="costumer-title"> - Plaistow, NH</span></p> </div> <div class="quote-post"> <blockquote> <p>The Paci Pixie is a wonderful book for any child facing the fear of not using their pacifier anymore. My children love the book, illustrations and nursery rhyme. My daughter is seven and never used a pacifier, but she still loves the story. My three year old was very fearful of losing his pacifier, but after reading the book he said he now wants to see The Paci Pixie take his very soon. The story is soothing and beautiful with wonderful illustrations!</p> </blockquote> <p class="quote-author">Jennifer Sherman <span class="costumer-title"> - Stratham, NH</span></p> </div> <div class="quote-post"> <blockquote> <p>My sister read The Paci Pixie to her three-year-old son who used a pacifier to help him fall asleep. She explained it was time for the Pixie to take his pacifier away to sprinkle it with pixie dust and prepare it for another little boy or girl. My nephew was so excited to help a younger child fall asleep before reaching “big boy” age, and he hasn’t used a pacifier since.</p> </blockquote> <p class="quote-author">Margaret M. LaFauci <span class="costumer-title"> - Stoneham, MA</span></p> </div> <div class="quote-post"> <blockquote> <p>This magical little Pixie knows just what to say to help your child feel good about growing up and giving up his pacifier. It is a wonderful resource for parents and pediatricians.</p> </blockquote> <p class="quote-author">Dr. Irving J. Newman, MD FAAP <span class="costumer-title"> - North Chelmsford, MA</span></p> </div>
