La canción del ángel: una novela
Par Sheila Walsh. 2011
"Ann Fletcher has returned to Charleston to see her younger sister Sarah receive her master's degree. But she soon finds…
herself riding in the back of an ambulance, watching helplessly as Sarah fights for her life. As they race to the hospital, Sarah talks to someone who is not there...and hums a melody Ann has never heard before. That unfamiliar, unearthly beautiful melody keeps finding Ann--first in the hospital chapel, then in her dreams, and finally in Sarah's empty house. Two neighbors have a profound effect on Ann. Ethan McKinney lends her a shoulder to lean on. And as a carpenter, he volunteers to help Ann get the Fletcher family home into shape for selling. His strong presence is a pleasing distraction. Ann's twelve-year-old neighbor, Keith, has Down Syndrome and the guile to believe he can actually see and hear angels. In fact, he insists they are looking out for her in ways she's never imagined. God begins to reveal himself to Ann--both in her newfound friends and through supernatural events. As she discovers the very real presence of angels around her, will she finally open her heart to receive God's healing love?" -- GoodreadsTe espero en el fin del mundo

Meanwhile, a beautiful, young Jewish woman decides to flee her beloved Austria, changing her name to Hedy Lamarr, and risking everything to get to America, as far away from the Nazi threat as possible. A powerful friendship is formed when the two women meet in pre-war London-with Judy's passion for science a perfect match for Hedy's brilliant talent for invention. So when the world is gripped by a war that nobody could have imagined in their worst nightmares, both Hedy and Judy know they must act now. As their lives repeatedly collide, in Cambridge, California, Pearl Harbor and beyond-throwing both their lives into danger and tragedy-Judy and Hedy both find themselves seeking ways to end the war. But neither of them will know that one of them is on a path of tragedy. A path that could change the outcome of the war, but also threaten their friendship forever..." -- Provided by publisherThe cowboy's best friend (Sweet Water Ranch #01)
