California Angel
reviewed on + 13 more book reviews


Is Toy Johnson an angel of mercy gifted with miraculous psychic powers? Or is this strikingly beautiful woman a kidnapper and killer, with a growing list of children as victims? Toy knows only that a near-death experience has launched her on a journey into the unknown. And now she is haunted by the dreamlike memories of children she believes she somehow has saved. But if Toy sees herself as a living angel, that vision of herself is challenged when she is arrested and charged with murder.

With the same gripping suspense for which she is famous, Nancy Taylor Rosenberg now opens the door to a world where the laws of man come into riveting conflict with a far higher law. And in Toy Johnson, she has created a heroine who will not only make you believe in angels-she will make you believe in human beings.
