Having lost a son myself, I can understand the pain and anguish of Christy's mother. I wish I could have had my wife's faith, or Christy's. If the dialogue in the story seems a bit off, keep in mind that the author was only 16 years old when he wrote it, still learning his craft and finding his literary voice. It is the message that counts. And he went on to become the best-selling author we now know as J. R. Rain." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "What a heartfelt, sweet Christian story, a good-versus-evil struggle, and a cozy mystery all rolled into a single tale for middle-school kids to adults. There was danger, too, and risk of several types, and there was a profound ending. I loved how the mystery was solved, and also, how important changes evolved in the heroine's heart. An ageless, poignant parable for our modern times. Must read. Five Stars!" ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "Christy Paxton is a gritty, determined little girl. With a little help from her angel she manages to triumph over evil. Fun teen tale told with spirit." ―Amazon reviewer
