Anaya's Purpose [Hardcover]

Ellen Norris (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 15, 2008

The angels of my thoughts, dreams and imagination allowed me to mount their wings. They flew me to the motherland, where I visited the palace of kings and queens. I ate from silver platters and drank from crystal goblets. I walked in the courtyards among the peacocks and baby elephants. I stood on their wings and was eyewitness to a typhoon. I sat on my angel’s wings as they took me to royal weddings and the funeral of the king. I rested on their wings and witnessed the birth of Anaya. We have Mulan, Pocahontas and Cinderella. I introduce you to Anaya, a beautiful, strong-willed, fictional South African princess, who becomes a virtual catalyst when her parents are effectively separated by social status and land rivalry. Anaya highlights qualities relating to identity, belief in God, and loyalty in various forms. She shows those who believe in purposes in life the likely power of love.

What a wonderful story and a great read. This was a great story about promises, character and love. I couldn't put it down. It was a great read and I finished it within a few days only getting a chance to read it while I was on the bus before and after work. Yes, I almost missed the bus because I had to start reading as soon as I left the office. Ellen, I can't wait for a sequel. Thank God for your inspiration. Give her a kiss for me!!!!!

Great Book!!! Great story line and on point. I couldn't put it down. What a lovely story about true love, forgiveness, and trust in God. Although this is a fairy tale, the writer did an excellent job conveying the message that like Anaya, we all should seek to find and fulfill our purses in life. Another great message is the statement "to forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was you" That was a blessing for me. This story would make a good movie as well. I'm eager to read the next book!
