O knihe

Ninety-two-year-old Virginia Merrill tells her
troubled but triumphant true story of growing
up in early-twentieth-century Los Angeles in
this absorbing memoir, I Believe in Guardian
Angels.

Virginia was born in 1915 and spent her
childhood moving from place to place-one-room
houses, boarding homes, and tiny
apartments-with her mother and older
brother. Her mother's teaching jobs took
them from public to private schools, and
Virginia soon learned the emotional danger
and vulnerability in forming close relationships.
The lack of intimate friends and a permanent
home only contributed to Virginia's fragile
stability.

Despite her challenges, Virginia learned to
excel at school and found a joyful release in
writing short stories and poetry. She also
discovered her guardian angels in the people
around her. From the doctor who saved her
life during the flu epidemic when she was
only two years old to her third grade teacher,
who devoted herself to helping Virginia learn
her fractions, these "angels" made a lasting
impact on Virginia's heart.

I Believe in Guardian Angels reveals how Virginia
learned to treasure each sunlit morning,
appreciate every gesture of kindness, and love
life in all its tainted glory.
