Hello Friends, Many of you love to read so here is the place to tell us what books or magazines you have read or heard about lately. To start the board off, I just saw a review of a book by Danielle Steel called "Johnny Angel". If you have read it, tell us what you thought about it. This was the review listed on the Wal-Mart site: In her 58th bestselling novel, Danielle Steel tells the breathtaking story of a mother's love and a son's gift, of the tragedy that nearly destroyed a family...and the miracle that saved them. With a word or a smile, seventeen-year-old Johnny Peterson could light up a room. A star athlete and class valedictorian, Johnny's future was brilliant--until he stepped into a car on prom night and, in an instant, the shining future ended, his life over. Johnny's family and sweetheart, Becky, must struggle to put together the pieces of their shattered lives. But amid the heartache, something miraculous is about to happen that will alter the course of each of their lives. When a sudden illness strikes Johnny's mother, Alice, a glorious vision comes to her in her dreams. There, standing before her, is Johnny, gently urging his bewildered mother to be strong for her family. For Alice, seeing her son again is a miracle she can't quite believe. In the weeks to come, Johnny will appear in the most unlikely places, visible only to the two people who need him most: his nine-year-old brother, locked in a silent world, whose special needs Johnny always seemed to understand...and his mother, who has always nurtured her family but who now needs a guardian angel of her own. Through a season of healing, Johnny will guide those he left behind out of their grief, leaving miracles in his wake that will change them all forever. He brings with him, and leaves behind, the blessings of laughter, love, and hope. An unforgettable story of loving and letting go, of mixed blessings and second chances, Johnny Angel is a celebration of life, hope, and forgiveness. It will make you laugh and cry...and hold your loved ones just a little bit closer. | |
