<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>

I just finished it today. I will say that it’s a little different than what I’m used to reading as far as the language goes. I’m sure you’ll know what I mean when I mention books by authors such as Zane, Jerome Dickey, <span class="yshortcuts">Michael Baisden</span>…etc. But….this book was a good surprise. I like the climax of the book and how it made me want to find out what happened to the characters. Lee was a character that most females can relate to dealing with. Anyway, to make a long story short…..I really enjoyed the book and if this was your first??? The rest of African Americans authors better watch their back! Thanks again!”</span></span></p> <p></p> <p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"> -Felicia Woods</span></span></p> <p></p>
