Joy To The World? by Deborah Milton is a leisurely story about the everyday life of a mother of three boys who just happens to have a penchant for trouble. Who but Delaney Roberts would find a newborn in her car when she returns home after delivering charity Christmas packages?

The bane of Detective Johnson’s career, Delaney is intent on learning where the child came from. She does her own sleuthing in spite of and occasionally with the help of her husband, her police officer nephew, her neighbor and her own small boys. And then Delaney notices a teenage girl hanging around and follows her. That’s when she finds a several-days-dead woman in an apartment. Delaney takes the teenager, Angela, home with her also and petitions Social Services to allow her to keep Angela and the baby girl she names Joy, at least until Joy’s parents are found.

A fire bombing, being forced off the highway and two kidnappings pick up the pace of an otherwise tedious holiday season. Not only is she looking for Joy ’s parents, but now Delaney’s determined to find out why and by whom their lives are being threatened.

Joy To The World? is light reading with an unusual plot. 4 stars!

ANGEL, MINE by Deborah Milton
Highly Recommended
An inspirational novel, ANGEL, MINE reads like poetry but is so realistic I actually emailed the author to find out if it is truly fiction. It is, but that doesn't stop it from almost breaking your heart as you read of a toddler's desperate battle with leukemia. The book is told from the mother's point of view and from that perspective she bares her soul, honestly tells of her relationship with her husband, her son, her baby girl, and her God.
And it should carry a warning: Do not read unless you have an ample supply of tissues.
Ms. Milton is an exceptional writer, one who is sure to go far in the world of letters. I look forward to reviewing her next book, but for now ANGEL, MINE has staked a claim on my heart.

Meeting God

We've got to meet God partway...
a tenth...a sixteenth...one one-hundreth?
Just something...some reaching out
of the hand or heart or even breath
Toward His love, His light, His power
Toward the source of all we are.

Then, oh then, does He reach back
with life, with love...with miracles.
When once He touches but a hair,
life becomes amazingly full
of more love, more light, more power
then ever we thought was there.

THOUSANDS OF MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN ARE DYING BECAUSE THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND A PERFECT MATCH FOR A BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT. WON'T YOU CONSIDER REGISTERING TODAY?
