Maxine has always
been fascinated by the locked armoire in her grandmother’s room.
When her grandmother dies, Maxine inherits the key. She has to search
for it. When she finds it and opens the door, she’s surprised to
find the only thing on the shelves is a beautiful feather.
Puzzled and slightly disappointed, she picks it up and a glittering
angel appears.
The angel is her
guardian angel. When asked what she most wants, Maxine confesses that
she wants to know her purpose in life. With this goal, they set out
on an adventure. The angel shows her wonderful things and terrible
things. Through all these experiences, Maxine understands that God
has a plan. Some things can be changed, but the important thing she
learns is to accept God’s plan.
I could not warm up to the main character. Maxine seemed too much the good girl, expecting always to be the chosen one. I found this somewhat repellent and some of the adventures boring. However, the book is not difficult to read and the over all spiritual journey is interesting.
If you enjoy
Christian stories about angels and the magic of the universe, this is
a well done book. The adventures Maxine goes on show both the beauty
and the tragedy of the world. It’s an enjoyable journey and a quick
read.
I received this book
from PR by the book for this review.
