Pretty good read. Opens your eyes to people who are LUCKY enough to see the angels in their lives
Note, the review below was for the print book. I was recently drawn to the audio and loved it. 4 stars, and much more interesting with the brogue. I don't know why.
***************************
Usually I won't continue with a book I rate below 3 stars (average) but I was curious. By her own admission, Lorna was considered seriously mentally challenged by her family and school. Mostly it was because of her odd behavior and comments, as she saw and interacted with angels since she was a baby, and sometimes gave their advice to others. One teacher in particular refused to call on her when she would raise her hand to answer his questions because he didn't want to waste his time, and made it clear to her and to the class. And while her mother frequently ignored her, her father doted and most of her learning was from him, as she was not allowed to finish school. This might be why I thought the writing too simplistic, and at times, seriously bland with events mentioned not at all interesting. There were repetitions, frequently. So where was her editor? Why not a ghost writer even?
I read a lot of these books, and I will say that hers was different in perhaps the descriptions of the angels and how they acted/reacted and taught her. Though I am loath to say this because I will believe anything, I found some things just too fantastic.
It is an interesting read in some parts, though.

Thought provoking. Found this read gave my heart and mind much to consider. I believe that the author's experiences may shake any doubter to the core. Not sure where I am now but I have begun talking and praying to my guardian angel and I believe some things are beginning to happen. Time will tell as I need only to continue each and every day.
My reading selections have always reflected veried and fascinating searches into many genres. This one gave me so much to ponder that I keep picking up the book and reading portions again. One lesson learned was have the courage to follow my convictions and act upon them.
Forgiveness is sometimes difficult to achieve but trying can become reality. Made several mental decisions following the holiday notes we received. Several need followup to let those individuals know that we think about them often, care about them and do offer support when they need it.
