The Promised Land

Book Two of the Angel Series

Age: 9-12

A heartfelt story about a little girl, Becky, and her mother, Grace's experience on the newly acquired plantation, The Pearly Gate.

Earl Dubois dies from a prolonged illness, leaving his wife, Grace, and daughter, Becky, to tend to their newly-acquired Plantation, The Pearly Gate. Only more heartache ensues as the plantation overseer, Ole Cole, releases his bitterness and anger upon Becky’s beloved horse, Crimson. In the still of the night, a crack of a whip interrupts their peaceful lives.

Becky’s cry for help and a mother’s prayers reach the ears of God. He sends in Joyet and Darren, two angels, who uncover the mystery behind the caretaker’s mean spirited actions. Their mission is clear: to help bring broken lives together and to mend old wounds.

The well-bred Grace pursues her husband’s dream of having the finest plantation in the south. Her strong beliefs in God that all men are created equal brings much opposition among the esteemed Plantation owners, even from the dark-skinned people in her charge. This only fuels Cole’s anger and Crimson feels the bite of the whip on her back.
