Every mother at one time or another, with unfailing certainty, has an overwhelming fear that her child will unexpectedly be taken from her by accident or death. Clare English is no exception. She's the strong-willed loving mother of Maggie and Adam, the faithful determined wife of Greg, and the life-long unconditional friend of Gwen. And God's on her side...after all, he finally gave her the beautiful little girl she'd been asking for all of her life. Now, life was good. Really, really good.

Then came the apple...the apple little Maggie bit into, leaving blood behind on the sweet fruit. A worried Clare discovers traces of red all over Maggie's teeth. Her gums were red and swollen. Clare is stunned a few hours later to find herself taking her precious little girl to the hospital to be tested for leukemia, and she prays, desperately, "Please don't let my baby have cancer!"

Yet Maggie does have the dreaded illness and Clare's perfect world comes crashing down around her as she enters the fight of her life for her daughter, her family, her faith, and most of all, herself.

With each and every page, the reader can't help but to imagine "what if this were my child?" We see the tremendous strength of a loving family and friends and the power of prayer through this challenging, life-threatening ordeal. Angel, Mine reminds us of the precious gifts we've received from God and readers will be forever touched by its heartfelt inspiration. Deborah Milton has created a story so real, so intense, it's hard to believe it's fiction. Get out your kleenex, as you'll certainly need them as you follow along with Clare, feeling her emotions, experiencing her pain and her joys as a mother, a wife, and a child of God. If this book hasn't been made into a movie yet, it should be. It is certain to captivate any audience from start to finish. I commend Ms. Milton on a job of inspirational storytelling that surpasses all others I've seen.

This book reads as though the author were speaking it, in a face-to-face meeting with the reader. It is so realistic, one feels as though she is Claire's next-door neighbor, going through a very frightening experience along with her.An intimate, inside look at an awful trial.

What a writer. I could not believe that the story I had just read was not true! It's a wonderful story of love, hope and courage. As a nurse I highly suggest this book as a gift to cancer patients and their families.

Great job Deborah and I look forward to reading any future work you may have coming out.

Be Blessed!

'Angel, mine' is a very poetic and sensitive account of a mother's worst nightmare. Although Deborah Milton is one of the best new Christian writers to come along in quite a while,this book is definitely not just for christian readers. She handles her subject matter with a style that's all her own, injecting humor at always just the right time. I actually found myself crying at times, and laughing at others. And most importantly, I came away from the book with a newfound respect for the bone marrow donor system. I would definitely recommend this book to others.

I've read the book Angel Mine by Deb Milton and I just want to say that it's so wonderfully written that you don't want to put it down. Deb Milton is such a great author, Does she have any other books coming out soon????
