The Angels of Morgan Hill

From Donna VanLiere--the "New York Times "bestselling author of the beloved "Christmas Hope" series--comes a novel of faith and destiny that no reader will soon forget... FAMILY BY BIRTH It's 1947. Nine-year-old Jane Gable first lays eyes on young Milo Turner the day that her alcoholic father is buried. The Turners are the first black family ever to live in Morgan Hill, and Jane can't understand why some people are bitter. FAMILY BY HEART When tragedy strikes the Turner household, the Gables are asked to make a decision that could rip their family apart. One path might open up a whole new world to them and bring them closer than ever. The other might bring them nothing but trouble and heartache. As Jane struggles to make sense of the changes in her community, she will soon learn about the angels who surround her, every day, in the most extraordinary--and ordinary--ways. "VanLiere uses humor, memories of growing up Southern, and touching moments of family unity to enrich her story of overcoming racism and poverty."--"Publishers Weekly"VanLiere, Donna is the author of 'The Angels of Morgan Hill', published 2007 under ISBN 9780312933791 and ISBN 0312933797.
