Books with author Steve Smith

The book is the second in a series chronicling the adventures of a young angel trying to "earn her wings" (the first story has not been published yet). It was written as a memorial to my youngest daughter Aimee and the central character is loosely based upon her. This particular story is about our angel's adventures as she rides all over the world with Santa on Christmas Eve. I think even you 92-year old "children" out there will enjoy it.
