Give Me Wings

Carnikko was abandoned by her father and then forced into foster care after the loss of her mother at an early age. Even after she’s finally adopted, the world around her is still uncertain—and her days are filled with an insistent sense of loneliness.

Then one day she’s visited by an invisible—yet very real—entity calling itself Purple Angel, who begins to help Carnikko slowly come to terms with her past, her present circumstances, and the possibility that her future can be bright, in spite of the obstacles life has placed in her path.

Using the power of her mind, Carnikko and Purple Angel fly to a special place where she can find the serenity and peace she so desperately longs for—and where she can learn to first acknowledge and then control the anger that’s been growing inside her for so long.

Give Me Wings will appeal to readers, who will easily identify with Carnikko’s tangled swirl of emotions, and who will understand that every human being, regardless of age, does the best they can at any moment, given their current awareness. Give Me Wings brings to mind the writing of such authors as Sue Monk Kidd and River Jordon. Told with candor and straightforward Southern sensibility.

In some ways, Carnikko represents every child—and every human being—who is searching for the answers to questions that can sometimes threaten to overwhelm them. It’s an inspiring story of unshakeable faith, coupled with a childlike determination and courage, ultimately proving that the human spirit can overcome anything—in spite of great adversities.
