Another Angel Of Love
Book Two of The Angelic Letters Series
“God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose”
Romans 8:28
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 an angelic 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 love will return—until he meets Julean Carter.
But, is their new-found 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!

Henry can’t seem to shake the memory of Jenny from his mind or the love he still feels for her. Little does he know, his wife is all-too-aware of Henry’s hidden thoughts and feelings. Meanwhile, Father Engelmann, back from seminary school and creating a sensation as the new parish priest, is caught in the middle when both Henry and Julean confess to him about Jenny.

After decades apart, Henry and Jenny’s lives are poised to intersect yet again, when Henry’s oldest son brings his new girlfriend home to meet the family. Bearing an unusual resemblance to Henry’s first love, her name, Camilla, is not just unusual, it’s also the same name Jenny had vowed to name her own daughter one day. Did Jenny get pregnant that fateful night in the park? Everything about Camilla seemed to confirm Henry’s belief that she is Jenny’s daughter.
As Henry struggles with this and other memories of his lost love, he also strives to pick up the pieces of his life after his wife Julean’s untimely death. Can the lovely Ivania fill the void left by both Julean and Jenny? And what about Jenny herself? If only Henry knew that Jenny had been trapped for years in a loveless and lonely marriage, and that, more importantly, she has never forgotten her first love.
