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
After a quite turbulent life in the Netherlands in which freedom and wealth were the main issue I noticed that was something was missing in my life. All material wealth did not make me feel happy and satisfied. In 1999 I visited Indonesia for the 1st time and there I saw that happiness did not come with wealth. This feeling kept growing inside me and at a certain moment I started to pay more attention to that feeling. In August 2008 (I lived in a city outside of Jakarta, Indonesia) I sat with a friend in the car and while I looked outside, I noticed that along the way so many young people sat around doing nothing. Young people with little till no prospects for the future, though they didn't seemed troubled whatsoever. At that time there came 1 way or another a bright moment in me and I decided to dedicate myself to find Truth and Inner Peace.
