Publisher's Summary

Jane Gable thinks 1947 will be like every other year in Morgan Hill, Tennessee, but it turns out to be the year everything changes. Jane first lays eyes on young Milo Turner the day that her abusive, alcoholic father is buried in the Morgan Hill cemetery. The Turners are the first black family ever to move into the area, and while their presence challenges the comfort of many in the small, tight-knit community, Jane and her brother, John, have found new friends.

Then tragedy strikes the Turner household, and the Gable family is asked to make a decision that could rip their world apart. One path might open up a whole new world to them and bring them closer than ever. Or it might bring them nothing but trouble and heartache. On their journey, Jane discovers that angels are all around us, every day, in the most extraordinary and ordinary ways.

The Angels of Morgan Hill is filled with unforgettable characters who show us the ways and means of the heart and prove that even in the darkest hours, we are never truly alone.

Critic Reviews

• Winner of Audio Publishers Association 2007 Audie Award, Inspirational/Faith-Based Fiction

"VanLiere uses humor, memories of growing up Southern, and touching moments of family unity to enrich her story of overcoming racism and poverty." (Publishers Weekly)

Fantastic, Uplifting, Enjoyed this book,

Awesome, Heart warming , Enjoyable and a great read, I do believe I'll listen to it again

Sweet book

I loved this book. It was sweet and sad and uplifting--especially if you remember the begining of the Civil Rights movement. The reader was excellent; her southern accent really added to the story.

Storyline is slow

Storyline is slow and childlike. Boring and not very interesting. Lacking something, glad is was a short book.
