A deeply moving tale that\u2019s full of wisdom and fairytale charm\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n Set in the World War II era, Jones\u2019 charming tale of an orphaned girl\u2019s tender bond with an illegal Mexican immigrant is both inspirational and poignant, gaining resonance through the lesson of self-understanding and spiritual insight the young protagonist learns during her horrendous journey. Twelve-year-old Carla Kay Landon is forced to leave her home and take on to street life after the pandemic Influenza kills her parents and siblings. Meeting the gentle and wise Ruben seems like a chance occurrence, but Carla is more than a child trying to survive the hardships thrown her way: she is a rescuer for the Elite chosen by a higher power. It\u2019s through Carla\u2019s journey from her hometown to Austin that Jones explores various meanings of God\u2019s ways and will. Jones\u2019s unique take on the narrative shift between her human characters and the angels keep readers thoroughly invested in the story. The narrative flows smoothly, and Jones creates complex characters who must confront hardships to realize their place in the final scheme of things. The angel as Carla\u2019s guardian is charismatic and full of light, much like a paternal presence. Carla is a triumph of a character. By the end of the book, they (both the guardians and the malevolent angels) become fully-fleshed-out humane characters, engraving themselves in readers\u2019 minds. Deeply moving, intense, and often insightful, the book\u2019s biggest accomplishment is taking the reader inside the mysterious world of God\u2019s will, where faith is the key to perseverance. Christian readers will be wise to pick this one.<\/p>\n A deeply moving tale that\u2019s full of wisdom and fairytale charm\u2026 Set in the World War II era, Jones\u2019 charming tale of an orphaned girl\u2019s tender bond with an illegal Mexican immigrant is both inspirational and poignant, gaining resonance through the lesson of self-understanding and spiritual insight the young protagonist learns during her horrendous journey.
