I recently gifted a long-time friend of mine Book 3 of Branyrd the Angel Series – Mission of Love. This lady is a former neighbor who I have known for many years. She recently lost her husband who was a dear, sweet, man who did so much good in his lifetime. I dedicated this book to his memory and included him and her in the story. When I told my friend, Marianne, that she and her husband, Martin (Mac), were characters in the book, she was surprised and honored especially after losing him. I did keep him alive in the story though. He will always be remembered as a wonderful neighbor and friend who want above and beyond to help me or anyone else whenever we needed him. Thank you, Mac! May you RIP!
Marianne called me recently to share her thoughts about the book. She also reviewed the other two books previously. Since she does not go online to do reviews, I told her I would post her review here. Thank you, Marianne!
Here is what she said:
“I really enjoyed this book, Janice. I don’t know how you come up with all these stories! It was nice to see Mac and me in it. Thank you for that.”
Branyrd is on another mission which may be the toughest one so far. She has been sent to a troubled island in the South Pacific that is being attacked by the fellow islands in the archipelago. Her mission is to rescue some children from an orphanage during the attacks.
She is escorted, once again, by her Guardian Angel, Benedicto, who is there as counsel and aide as she completes her mission. What Branyrd finds there is devastation and heartbreak as she tackles the mission, this time one of love for the children and the rest of the islanders who have lost family and homes.
There are many obstacles that stand in her way and danger for the children and others as she must rescue not only them, but also another island that is in danger of sinking.
It brought tears to my eyes when I wrote the story but I became even more emotional when my friend died in the middle of my writing it. What shocked me most about the book was that he was already in it along with his wife and I hadn’t realized it. When I went back to finish it after his wake and funeral, I saw what was so evident about the characters – they were my friend and her husband!
It was a dedication that was meant to be whether he had passed or not. I think my subconscious created the characters after I heard that he was failing in health earlier.
If you haven’t read this series yet, please begin with Book 1, The Misunderstood Angel, then Book 2, Mission of Mercy. Book 4 will be coming out later this year. Book 1 explains the character, Branyrd, and how she learns to be an Angel and later matures in each book.
This was a different kind of genre for me, dealing with a spiritual theme, moreso in this book than in How Far is Heaven. This series deals with important issues that are relevant in our troubled world today. Branyrd does her best to solve these issues and make the world a better place. If we only had more Branyrd’s in our world today to help solve the problems we have that no one seems to be able to do.
Here is a book trailer I created.
I hope you enjoy this story and feel the emotion that I put into it. Thank you for stopping by to read this post and for your continued support.
Blessings & Hugs! Stay Safe, Stay Well and God Bless!
