About this deal

From a writing standpoint, it needed some editing. However, the rawness made it very powerful. So, I looked past that.

Ann-Marie Cahill will read anything and everything. From novels to trading cards to the inside of CD covers (they’re still a thing, right?). A good day is when her kids bring notes home from school. A bad day is when she has to pry a book from her kids’ hands. And then realizes where they get it from. The only thing Ann-Marie loves more than reading is travelling. She has expensive hobbies. The thing is, if you do a general Google search on books about angels, you are going to find a plethora of books…and most of them are written by white women, with a tendency to fall into the conservative Christian interpretation of angels. And while there are some very good books within this category, there are also some amazing stories outside this white feathery room. Stories that would usually be glanced over because they are not the usual ‘book about angels’. In Masters’ case, the worst of the abuse stopped at 11, when her local priests told her mother to remove her from her father’s care because she caught him in bed with another woman (which therefore made him unsuitable as an ‘adulterer’). “It saved my life,” she says.

The Battle Between Good and Evil

Garry said most memory was unreliable, faded over time, and there were even cases where people had come to believe almost impossible things had actually happened to them. For Waikato University professor Dr Maryanne Garry, an expert in memory, there’s no proof that recovered memory is real, and she says it is “dangerous” to rely on it in court without supporting evidence. Gloria, that was the stuff of nightmares. Any one of those situations would cause trauma. All of them happening to one person is nearly inconceivable. It is hard to imagine just one of these monsters, yet they were lurking around every corner. I was disappointed, angry, terrified for you, and helpless all at the same time. Masters says among the book’s early readers, it has already prompted people a couple of degrees removed to speak up about their own childhood abuse. “This is what I want,” she says. “There are so many of us out there. Doesn’t that just send shivers down your spine? ... What if I said of 10 of your male friends, four of them would have suffered this?” A beautiful blend of science fiction and fantasy, set in a utopian world built by angels and higher beings of faith. Shinn does not shy away from the parallels of her ‘Samaria’ and the religious centres of the Middle East; Gaza, Bethel, and Jordanna. However, she has taken a far more optimistic view of her alternative; one filled with harmony and peace and tolerance for all. The story is set on far-off planet which practices a very Christian-style faith; where angels live with and marry humans. There is great depth in Shinn’s characters, where an idealistic world has fed the privileged maybe not to the point of arrogance but definitely to the point of naivety. Books About Guardian Angels

He says it was a difficult investigation, because of the time that had elapsed, the inability to find corroborating evidence, and the added complexity of the complaints being principally against family members – a family which closed ranks against Masters. There are many! Jolith replied, and it flashed in the depths of her blue sea-eyes. Just wait, and you’ll see! Now I understand that the miserable life in the farm laborer’s cottages wasn’t as trying and laborious as it seemed to me at the time. I became at one with Nature, as I, day by day, in sunshine and rain, tended my cattle and repaired fences or toiled at the hard soil. I learned to understand all the signs that Nature gave me in such ample amount. The different seasons’ abundance of new impressions and secrets were imprinted in the farm laborer’s open mind, even though he at that point didn’t fully understand the value of the school he resided in.Well, occasionally you have read about things like that. Jan’s spirit, that was me! I didn’t feel any different – but I was very curious! Jan was dead – long live Jan! When I was asked to write this book, I didn’t hesitate for a moment. My spaceborne companion, Jan, wanted to recount his personal experiences after his passing, from the moment of death up until now. He is a spirit with his own authoring history during his last incarnation here in Sweden. He is a happy and humorous person, but he also has profound experiences from the cosmic development. When he suggested that the name of this book would be On Angels’ Wings, I immediately associated this name with a memory from my childhood. The details are too graphic and harrowing to be repeated here. But Masters says that, from the age of three until she was 16, her paedophile father orchestrated almost continual abuse, perpetrated both by him and others. She says he sold her to a paedophile ring, a gang, and a K Rd sex club. She alleges another relative facilitated the abuse (including procuring a series of illegal abortions), while others simply ignored it. Deprived of any human protector, the titular angels are the ones she thought she saw when her father nailed her into an apple crate as a small child for some imagined infraction.
