Angels Strange and Beautiful

Angels Strange and Beautiful cover art

The shy, sensible girl is bolder than anyone dreamed. The reclusive scientist has the heart of a child. And the puppyish stalker wanders a treacherous forest of secrets.

Welcome to Reason, a peaceful New England village stalked by a killer of occult origins. With each new atrocity, suspicion turns the village against anyone who stands apart.

Fresh questions and new terrors wait around every corner. Lives and loves hang in the balance as the people of Reason choose whether to cling to the familiar or face a terrible unknown.

An orphan of London arrives in the New World without a single memory of love. But when her new caretakers are delayed, she discovers kindness in strange places where love and tragedy entwine.

Her unfolding future is not the only mystery in this new community. Stern and unassailably proper, the people of Riversedge are rebuilding the cathedral after a devastating fire. Among them lives the mysterious stained glass maker whose windows whisper to the hearts of beholders.

But the string of fires has only begun, and a disturbing pattern is forming. The truth must be found out, even if it unearths other secrets tangled in its roots.

Reviews

“I would highly recommend Angels Strange and Beautiful to fans of Christian-themed works of fiction, in-depth and atmospheric historical fiction, and readers who love relatable and inspiring characters.”

K.C. Finn for Readers’ Favorite

“Narrated in a beautifully classic prose, Angels Strange and Beautiful weaves the two stories together through the eyes of the children who witness them. I was immediately reminded of classic American literature in the stylings of authors like Nathaniel Hawthorne and Washington Irving.”

Nikki Auberkett for Midwest Book Review
