Angel Bones has an introspective voice that maintains a bright understanding of the temporal. As we read, we are painfully aware the speaker is dying from cancer and death is imminent.

I, Angel
Author: Angel
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1982288345
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 74
Book Description
This book relates real-life stories of Angel’s work as a modern-day psychic medium as she uses divination tools from the past and works with her Guardian Angels to connect spirits with their loved ones left here on earth. The stories in the book are uplifting, fascinating, at times heart-wrenching and even spine-tingling, and certainly thought-provoking. Do you believe in Angels and the spirit world? You will do once you’ve read the experiences of people in this book – all faithfully recounted from Angel’s work with mothers, grandmothers, daughters, fathers, sons and brothers. Angel also reveals her background as a fourth-generation psychic and how she gradually discovered that the shadows she could see at night in her very early years were in fact her Guardian Angels. It took many years – as well as personal loss and a tragedy suffered by her best friend – before she began to truly embrace her special gift and embark on her true journey of bringing positivity and comfort to those in need.

Book Description
Once you've seen, you can't unsee. Brielle went to the city to chase her dreams and found tragedy instead. She's come home to shabby little Stratus, Oregon, to live with her grief and her guilt . . . and an incredible, numbing cold she can't seem to shake. Jake's the new guy at school. The boy next door with burning hands and an unbelievable gift that targets him for corruption. Something more than fate has brought them together. An evil bigger than both of them lurks in the shadows nearby, hiding in plain sight. Two angels stand guard, unsure what's going to happen. And a beauty brighter than either Brielle or Jake has ever seen is calling them to join the battle in a realm where all human choices begin. A realm that only angels and demons--and Brielle--can perceive.

Angel
Author: Elizabeth Taylor
Publisher: New York Review of Books
ISBN: 1590175115
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
A darkly witty classic about literary worth, ambition, and romantic idealism set in turn-of-the-century England, with an introduction from Hilary Mantel (Wolf Hall) “A delicious satire on the career of schoolgirl sensation Angelica Deverell. She's a truly magnificent comic creation: petulant, paranoid and frighteningly prolific." –The Guardian Angelica Deverell lives above her diligent, drab mother’s grocery shop in a dreary turn-of-the-century English neighborhood, but spends her days dreaming of handsome Paradise House, where her aunt is enthroned as a maid. But in Angel’s imagination, she is the mistress of the house, a realm of lavish opulence, of evening gowns and peacocks. Then she begins to write popular novels, and this fantasy becomes her life. And now that she has tasted success, Angel has no intention of letting anyone stand in her way—except, perhaps, herself. Now back in print after 20 years, this under-recognized classic is (unlike Angel's own novels) self-aware, funny, and subtly layered. It both sharply satirizes its protagonist and acknowledges the intensity of her imagination and the rigor of her work, all the while seeing her as fully human, complicated, and even sympathetic.
