And shows exceptional courage and faith as she learns to overcome obstacles few people ever have to face. All along the way, the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit is whispering in her ear, and her guardian angel is lighting the way.



About the Author



Cheryl Glaiser was the recipient of a total hip replacement by the time she was twenty-three years old. In 1985, only about ten thousand hip replacements were performed each year, and very few on people her age. These days, half a million hip replacements are performed each year in the U.S. alone. The kind, loving care she received from healthcare professionals during multiple surgeries on her hip led her to seek a B.S. in Health and Safety and pursue an enduring career as a Nuclear Medicine Technologist.

The author loves to help people, thrived as a stay-at-home mom of two girls, and found her happily-ever-after with her husband of many years. When she isn’t spending time with family, she volunteers with various organizations. She believes that we each have a guardian angel guiding us, and that we must endeavor to live consciously, using but never abusing our words, our bodies, our families and our faith.
