Hi, everyone!!! My name is Angela Johnson. This is one of the first story I finished. I don't know how long I have been working on this story, but I think it has been for two years. I love the Lord and his magnificent ways. Some of the characters in this story reflect people that I know in person. Everything else is made up. I hope you enjoy and be touched by God in the best way possible. God bless!!!

Emily has no friends, no life and no hope. She was abandoned when she was a baby left to live with her grandparents. Ben hears the angel singing one day and comes back to find Emily the "ragamuffin" sitting in front of her grandparents bakery. In his search for the mysterious angel with the voice that is heavenly, he and Emily embark on a friendship that will change both of them forever. Please notice the video I have linked to the chapters to the right. I tried to get the original artists singing. Or at least the artist that inspired me to use that song. Also, at the end of Chapter 10 is a list of all of the songs with artist credit. I hope you enjoy!! Please vote and comment.
