The Promised Land Anne M. Angell

Earl Dubois dies from a prolonged illness, leaving his wife, Grace, and daughter, Becky, to tend to their newly-acquired Plantation, The Pearly Gate. The still of the night is disrupted by a crack of a whip. Becky?s cry for help and a mother?s prayers reach the ears of God. Only more heartache ensues as the plantation overseer, Ole Cole, releases his bitterness and anger upon Becky?s beloved horse, Crimson. God sends in Becky?s guardian angel, Joyet, to help bring broken lives together and to mend old wounds. The well-bred Grace pursues her husband?s dream of having the finest plantation in the south. Her strong beliefs in God and that all men are created equal brings much opposition among the esteemed plantation owners, even from the dark-skinned people in her charge. This only fuels Cole?s anger and Crimson feels the bite of the whip on her back. The Promised Land is one of many books in the Angel Series. The children's books are wholesome reading, while bringing in adventure and mystery, with a message of encouragement. The children's imagination is open to the realm of God, His heart, and God's angels who assist Him into bringing peace and rest into each circumstance.
