About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their child is grappling with the profound isolation of illness or the overwhelming grief of losing family members. Set against the backdrop of the 1918 influenza pandemic and World War I, the story follows Hannah Gold as she survives the loss of her aunt and sisters only to fall ill herself while fleeing for safety. The narrative navigates the intersection of historical tragedy and spiritual mystery, as Hannah is guided by a mysterious, angelic girl through her darkest hours. While the themes are heavy, the lyrical writing provides a protective layer of beauty for readers aged 10 to 14. It is an ideal choice for families who want to discuss how faith, hope, and the memory of loved ones can sustain a person through unimaginable hardship.
