God never forgets you, though you may forget Him. This quick flowing hard to put down read is an awakening. As the reader will agree it is well worth rereading-pondering situations in our lives that drive us away from faith and then acknowledging angels that walk among us, hopefully allowing a coming home to the Father. Teddy's story is so moving that one cannot help but be astonished at God's underpinning coincidences documented throughout the chronicle.
