About This Book
Book Details
When lovelorn Lydia Swain prays to the angel she knows is up there, she doesn't know whether the angel will answer her prayer. He's not sure either, being just a little bit lazy and something of a sleepyhead. But when he's persuaded-by an angelic kick in the rear end-he finds himself involved not only in a love story, but a political imbroglio.
The adventure that follows moves from forests of towering jeefwood trees to the highest reaches of heaven. It includes shipwrecks, protest marches, greedy politicians, and art. Art? Yes. And courage, and possible ecological disaster. It includes ruminations about time and the heart and considers the nature of high ideals, angelhood, and humanity.
Sid Hite evokes the imaginary nation of Korasan with such vividness that we want to visit it, and introduces us to people and angels we wish we knew. The novel is generous and funny, philosophical and irreverent, and gives us cause for reflection, even as we race to find out what happens at the end.

In The News
"To read a Sid Hite novel is to travel to a timeless place where miracles lie around every corner... Astute observations and philosophical asides add an extra dimension to this story of love and courage." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Hite blends the ordinary with the exciting and then adds a dollop of the miraculous.... Important issues, ones of love, faith, art, ecology, are raised here but central to this mosaic are the characters, who make all the pieces fit." - Booklist (starred review)
