The Angels of Morgan Hill

A Novel

By: Donna VanLiere

Narrated by: Donna VanLiere

The small town of Morgan Hill, Tennessee, is turned upside down in 1947 when the Turners become the only black family ever to move into the area. Nine-year-old Jane Gable first lays eyes on young Milo Turner the day that her trouble-making, alcoholic father is buried in the Morgan Falls cemetery.

When the Turners begin work as sharecroppers on a local tobacco farm, their presence challenges the comfort of many in the close-knit town and Jane leans heavily on her best friend, 53-year-old general store owner Henry Walker, for guidance. Then tragedy strikes the Turner household: Jane, her mother Fran (already pregnant with another mouth to feed), and younger brother John find themselves torn between the people they've lived with all their lives and a dying request from 6-year-old Milo Turner's mother that nearly rips their world apart.

The Angels of Morgan Hill is Donna VanLiere at her inspiring and heartwarming best, in an audiobook that's ultimately about the mysteries of faith, the hope of belonging, and the dream of family.

Touched My Heart

What did you like best about this story?

This book touched so many emotions. I loved the story. I hated some characters. I laughed out loud. I cried-happy and sad tears. This is the second Donna VanLiere book that I have read and I will buy another soon.

thought provoking and heart warming

I love books narrated by the author! It helps you with the tone that the author meant. It is hard for me to imagine the level of discrimination portrayed in this book but know that it happened. It is so sad that all people can't be treated as just people!

Characters with values

I really liked the way the author narrated the story. She kept it light in spite of the ups and downs of the plot. I could feel the goodness and compassion of the characters. Left me feeling that there are still good people in this world.
