"The Angelic Letters" is an epic saga of love, angels and miracles, spanning a fifty year odyssey in the lives of Henry Pederson and Jenny Sarsky. Inspired by true and miraculous events in the author's life, there are three basic things Ripplinger says that people will get out of reading the "Angelic Letters Series." It is a heart-warming, epic love story; it exudes timeless life lessons that come through the main character's relationship with his mentor; and the story reminds us of our guardian angels, our unseen link to God.
The third book of the "Angelic Letters Series," Angel of Thanksgiving is being launched this Saturday and Sunday, May 5 and 6 at Chapters.
