A young girl with a passion for riding horses must make a heart wrenching decision whether or not to have major spinal surgery. Her decision will impact not only her ability to ride, but the rest of her life
Two Angel Wings is an inspirational story of a mother, Arlene, her daughter, Nancy, and their journey through major spinal surgery to correct Nancy's severe case of idiopathic scoliosis. With love and courage, along with frustrations and tears, Arlene and Nancy face the day to day issues of diagnosis, surgery and recovery. As Nancy progresses in her healing, Arlene begins to search for answers as to how and why her daughter developed such severe curves. Arlene's reflections take her back to the beginnings of her marriage and Nancy's birth; to the events and beliefs that shapes their lives. Angels and horses weave themselves throughout the story. It is also the storyof and exceptional friendship, which spans many years. Nancy is just nine, Stephanie, eight when they become "best friends." Stephanie and Nancy's friendship, love and loyalty, see them through their growing up years, through their disagreements and spats, and through Nancy's surgery and recovery.
Excerpt
"Today there would be no usual routine, no usual anything. Nancy was done with her schooling for awhile and she wouldn't be going anywhere with Steph for many months to come. I stood in her doorway and glanced beyond the emptiness. The hall light played on the big double bed made up neatly with its white hobnailed bedspread. The whole room was neat and empty and all too quiet.
Timeless wisdom and advice on the art of living for today’s young and old: The art of thinking, the art of loving, the art of working, the art of leadership, the art of growing old.
