Angels Without Wings: A Courageous Family's Triumph over Tragedy
When the author and her first husband brought his four orphaned nephews into their home in 1958 as instant siblings to their own three children, they knew it was foolhardy but took the step as an act of faith. This vivid memoir is also an act of faith, for Yarmolinsky was battling terminal cancer as she wrote, reliving, moreover, poignant memories of a marriage that had later ended in divorce. In every sense, then, this book is an affirmation of love's capacity to triumph over chaos. The narrative is engrossing and witty, disarming and wise; the voice is that of a woman who, besides being a born writer, was deeply in love with her family, her God, and life itself. Highly recommended. Literary Guild Alternate Selection. ECCopyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc.
