A story that will resonate with every Soul. Catherine, a young attractive girl, with a soft, gentle personality and integrity, had a very hard life till now. She was a lady in her own right, with nowhere to go and no one to turn to. She had run away from a children's home at a young age. It was difficult for her to keep jobs, for the simple reason that she would be hit on by her employers, with no recourse to alleviate the problem. This made her take up a position as a masseuse in the sex industry, leading her to drugs, and discovering that genuine friends were few and far between. After losing what little she had, she was forced to ply her trade from the streets under ownership of a drug dealer. This is where Christian comes into her life, wanting nothing from her, but to see her succeeding and bettering her life. He offers her, a train ticket to Cape Town, and she jumps at the opportunity to run away from her horrible life in Johannesburg. This is the turning point in her life, which propels her into a world of understanding her purpose and ultimately succeeds in her dreams and goals. This is assisted with the help of her guardian angel. Unbeknown to her at first that he is an Angel, Michael presents himself as a different person each time, until she later discovers his identity. Dreams will take her to her past, present and future and a vision will give her a glimpse of the Archangel Michael in confrontation with the Devil (who also presents himself as a character in the story, called Nic). She finds an unfinished book of her life in the room that Mick has let her use while getting on her feet, and it was certainly a room full of surprises. The story begins in Winter, progressing through all four seasons, and she learns to appreciate and understand the beauty of Winter, something that most hate. The Angel appears three times, representing the Holy Triangle. The novel takes one through parts of a beautiful country, South Africa. It is a beautiful, easy, smooth and exciting read, with the bonus of being uniquely motivational and inspirational. This is a story that will touch a spot in everyone's soul, no matter where you have been or where you are headed., Provides novice, preservice, and experienced teachers with guidelines for best practices, social studies standards, and the most practical elements of pedagogy, plus invaluable advice from veteran educators., "Kottler and Gallavan provide a wealth of valuable material, practical ideas, and wonderful hints for beginning social studies teachers to get started, get involved, and continue their own learning." -Stephen Armstrong, Board of Directors National Council for the Social Studies "A very nice contribution to the social studies field, with a wide reach among both K-12 and preservice teachers.
