![]() ![]() A star athlete with a football scholarship that promised him an incredible education. In the book “Johnny Angel” by Danielle Steel, Johnny Peterson had the perfect life, the seventeen-year-old Johnny Peterson could light up a room, fill his mother’s heart with pride, and inspire the best in those around him. Who is most important to you? Has there ever been someone or something you cared about so much that you can barely breathe when you're with them? Time just seems to slip away and then before you know it everything has changed and all you ever cared about is gone. ![]() The last pages are definitely worth reading the book for. In 210 pages, Danielle Steel gives us a story that is totally unforgettable and totally heartbreaking and yet happy. Johnny's return is to help put things to rights, perhaps things he couldn't do when he was alive. It gives you hope, especially when things are going terribly wrong, and they do go wrong for Johnny's family, even beyond his death. I've read several and this one is beautifully written. There are a lot of fiction about the afterlife. This is the story of a teenager (Johnny) who's life is cut too short and how he comes back to help put his family and his girlfriend's family back together again, though only two people can see him, his mother and his younger brother. This book should come with a box of tissues though, because to quote an old Bachrach and David song, "Anyone who had a heart" would not get through this book without shedding some tears. Danielle Steel's Johnny Angel is a winner. ![]()
