"Book two in the Angelic Letters Series, Another Angel of Love is a heartrending love story with tremendous emotional depth. Beautifully moving...delving deeper into the serious realities of life and love. It was as if Jenny had vanished from the face of the earth. Two years after she and her family moved out of Henry's life, Henry still longs for her, their whirlwind romance gone from his life but not his heart. He was certain she would respond to his last letter, a pewter angel tucked inside--but there have been no letters, no phone calls. Nothing. A country apart, Henry and Jenny are unaware Jenny's parents have burned all the letters but the last...it is protected, it seems, by a heavenly power. Henry continues to rely on the love, support and powerful insights of his mentor Mr. Engelmann, and his secret plan to seek Jenny out sustains the hope that one day his first love will return--until he meets Julean Carter. But is their newfound love deep enough and strong enough to overcome the heavenly touch that entwined Henry and Jenny's spirits when they first gazed into each others eyes? Another Angel of Love ... glows with moments of tenderness ... deeply inspirational ... will captivate the heart of every reader!
