5.0 out of 5 stars An incredible story of love and acceptance. You'll love it!!, September 5, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: One Tattered Angel: A Touching True Story of the Power of Love (Hardcover)

This is a true story of a little girl, Charity Yorgason, who was born without a brain, and the impact she had on the family who adopted her. The Yorgason's were told that she would never experience emotions, never smile, never love, and would not live past two years. They first took her in their home as a foster child, and were ultimately able to adopt her. She was a hydrocephalic who endured many operations, always surprising even the doctors with her ability to bounce back. But the real story is the story of her ability to love everyone without ever saying a word. Through her smile and her eyes she radiated a love that would touch your soul. This story takes you through the almost 8 years of her all too short life, sharing her experiences, her pain, and the lessons of love that she taught through her smile and her eyes. It is impressive to see, through the eyes of her father, what an impact Charity had on everyone she met, and especially on her adopted family. It was amazing to read of the intense pain she experienced, yet still she seemed to choose to live. This book will make you laugh and cry. It will touch your soul, and renew your faith. Warning: Have a box of Kleenex close by. You'll need them!

i was on the island of st. martin recently, staying at a small hotel on the beach; to pass some time, i'd noticed they had "used" books on the shelf in the lobby to borrow and saw this little book called "one tattered angel". i started reading it and couldn't put it down. it affected the rest of my trip & my outlook on things, especially the power of prayer. i wanted to take the book with me - i was going to ask the hotel if i could buy it, just in case i couldn't find it anywhere. however, i noticed that it was signed by the author! i realized that the book needed to be left right there, so someone else could have the pleasure of reading it, like i did.

This book touched and inspired me so much that we named our daughter Charity after the subject of this book. This book helps us to better understand what our Heavenly Father expects of us, how very much he loves us and how he compensates for the weaknesses we have been given. There are blessings, even in the toughest of trials. Don't hesitate to buy this book. It may (and should) change your life.
