Her faith wavers as everyone around her seems to receive divine help—everyone except her. Doesn't she too, deserve an angel of mercy? Does the Lord have a plan for her or has her lifetime of faith been misplaced? Then something strange begins to happen, and her entire life changes yet again. In this fast-moving novella, Rachel Ann Nunes has given readers a vivid peek into the life of a regular Mormon family facing an impossible trial. Or is it impossible? The Gift of Angels will not only make you aware of the angels in your life, but inspire you to become someone else’s angel. “An inspirational novella, a sort of fictional nonfiction that puts me in mind of The Peacegiver by James L. Ferrell. Nunes uses a similar approach to reveal important life principles, except the fiction in A Gift of Angels is a lot more realistic. Loved it!” “The family in The Gift of Angels is so real it could be my own.” “I don’t normally like nonfiction books, but this book has all the perceived value of a nonfiction title with the reading ease of fiction.” “I recommend The Gift of Angels to anyone who is going through trials or who has ever asked the question, ‘Why me?’ ” “In The Gift of Angels, Nunes shows a perception that goes deeper than most fictional reads. I highly recommend it.”
