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>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">&quot;Steve Pomper's book may well save you a ticket, or it <br />might just save your life. We all slow down when we see a cop talking to a driver <br />he's pulled over because we're curious. Now, read about what really goes on. <br />You will be surprised and if  those of you who view traffic stops with <br />annoyance, impatience and, even anxiety, will pay attention to the advice offered <br />here, I think you'll pay fewer fines and avoid racking up so many dings on your <br />driving record. This is also a great read--full of anecdotes that will make you <br />laugh, gasp, and understand both cops and other drivers much better! I'm <br />surprised that no one thought of this idea before; it's a natural. After you read <br />this, the sight of whirling blue bubble lights in your rear view mirror won't <br />be nearly so scary. As an ex-cop myself, I know that men and women in law <br />enforcement want first to protect the rest of us, and Pomper has done that with his <br />writing as well as with his badge. I love this book!&quot;<br /> <br />--Ann Rule<br />Author of Green River, Running Red, Small Sacrifices, and Too Late to Say <br />Goodbye  <br /><br /></font></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;">“Officer Steve Pomper’s book will not only go a long way toward improving communication between police officers and drivers, it will also better educate the public on the daily stress and difficulties officers confront trying to keep us safe. It should be mandatory reading material in every driver’s education class in America.”</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;">Robert Dugoni, New York Times best-selling author of <em>The Jury Master, Damage Control, </em>and<em> Wrongful Death.</em></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"></p>
