Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
As a little girl, Jackie Torrence was fascinated with angels, the spirits who look after people. In this collection of particular interest to adults, she shares stories of special people in her life. Some are family stories from rural North Carolina. Others are experiences from her storytelling career. Torrence's resonant voice engages the listener and the gentle pace of the tales compels attention. The stories are very personal, but offer lessons for a broad audience --each listener hearing them in their own sphere. R.F.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

My favorite storyteller tells inspirational stories,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Accidental Angel (American Storytelling) (Audio Cassette)
Jackie Torrence is probably the most enthralling storyteller on the storytelling festival circuit today and these are some of her best stories. These stories tell of great people in her life: her grandmother, mother, and aunts mostly, whose wisdom and strength of spirit have kept her on course. Jackie is one of the most popular storytellers at the National Storytelling Festival and these are just great stories. Know someone who needs emotional shoring-up? Give them this audio!
