<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>
The words in this book is based on the love we all feel but can't bring it to our lips to say.

He has shown that men know how to express their feelings, and he has done it in a mesmerizing way. His poetry is about love in all forms and its most pure. "Is It You", hit home for me, and "In My World" gives a person without mental illness or experience with it, how it feels from the person who suffers. From the love he has for his daughter to the love he shares with his wife, David's heart is on his literary sleeve and gives us all a rare glimpse into the heart of a man who loves his family, friends and life. It is a must read for all who love poetry and is the perfect gift to give to someone you love. Especially if you're a man who can't express himself, David's poetry will help you articulate your feelings to your special someone. I was blessed through his work. <strong>Terri Ann Armstrong, Author of My Soul Has Spoken and Where Do I Begin?</strong></span><br /></p> <p></p>
