The Night The Angels Came (2011) - Plot & Excerpts

This book is personal, emotional, full of strength and courage. Its a journey of a foster carer, and the parent of her foster child. Its a book of faith and hope. This is a journey about Cathy, a foster carer, her children, and Cathy's foster child, and his parent. Is about their friendship, relationship, supports, strength, and courage. How when helpless turn to support, hopeless turn to strength.This is also a book that needing lots and lots of tissues. Is a book that i need to read it in parts, too afraid for the ending, too fearful of the end. When Cathy receives a call about a terminally ill widower terrified of leaving his son all alone in the world, she is wracked with sadness and indecision. After her devastating divorce, can she risk exposing her own young children to a little boy on the brink of bereavement?Eight year old Michael is part of a family of two, but with his beloved father given only months to live and his mother having died when he was a toddler, he could soon become an orphan. Will Cathy’s own young family be able to handle a child in mourning? To Cathy’s surprise, her children insist that this boy deserves to be as happy as they are, prompting Cathy to welcome Michael into her home.A cheerful and carefree new member of the family, Michael devotedly prays every night, believing that when the time is right, angels will come and take his Daddy to be with his Mummy in heaven. However, incredibly, in the weeks that pass, the bond between Cathy’s family, Michael and his kind and loving father Patrick grows. Even more promising, Patrick is looking healthier than he’s done in weeks.But just as they are settling into a routine of blissful normality, an unexpected and disastrous event shatters the happy group, shaking Cathy to the core. Cathy can only hope that her family and Michael’s admirable faith will keep him strong enough to rebuild his life.***************************************This is one of the most moving but beautiful books that I have ever read. It tells of the true story of a fathers unconditional love for his son and the very emotional journey they make into Cathy's life and family. It was personally very uplifting to read of a parents unconditional love for their child instead of the usual neglect and abuse inflicted on children prior to coming into the Care System. Just have the hankies close by - there was times that I was sobbing, other times just shedding some tears.
