About the Book
This book tells the story of a young girl named Angel and her journey through some tough times. It's all about family, finding your way, and discovering hope in unexpected places.
Angel's Journey
The story follows Angel, who often has to take care of her younger brother, Bernie, who is seven years old. Their mother, Verna Morgan, works hard to support them. One day, after visiting their father who was away, their mother suddenly tells them to pack their things.
A New Home
Angel and Bernie are taken to a farm they've never seen before, called the Morgan Farm. It seems like it's in the middle of nowhere! There, they meet their great-grandmother. Their mother then leaves them at the farm for a few days. Angel feels lost and unsure about what will happen next.
The Star Man
While at the farm, Angel meets a mysterious stranger. This person encourages her to look up at the night sky and "reach for the stars." This special message gives Angel hope and helps her start to understand her place in the world. As the story continues, Angel makes new friends, learns a lot about the stars, and gets to know her relatives better. She also tries to understand the mystery of the "star man" who helped her.
