Faith is a very important thing in life, be it in yourself, your family and friends, or the faith you have to protect you from the evils of the unknown. No one knows this better than Katerina and Stephen Carmichael, although they'd rather forget the battle against evil they fought 15 years ago. Now Kat is a successful, if overtaxed attorney; Stephen owns and runs the Angel Café, an exquisite and charming dining experience in Boston. Their love is perfected in their two daughters, Julia and Claire, and if their lives have become somewhat blasé and stagnant, well at least everything is going okay. Or is it? Julia, their oldest teenager, seems to be fading in and out of reality more and more each day, while Claire, the younger of the two, breaks into "wise one speak" in between her normal little girl routine. Yet, just which one of them is truly the "child of light"?

More than 15 years ago, with her Aunt Francine at her side, Katerina had to face and push back the forces of darkness, and Stephen became her right arm of justice. However, all that's in the past, isn't it? Everything is normal and the past has no place in today's reality. Still, that was before Francine's spirit was sucked out of her body in a church and sent to the year 1360. Appearing as a ghost to Madame Alys de Clarimont, prioress of Saint Etheldreda, and Father Gregory, the envoy from the Bishop, she finds that their nemesis from hell has found a way to bring himself to life in a human body. Alys' niece, Isobel, has become the devil's plaything, and he plans to use her to get to Julia. Suddenly, normal has no meaning, and the spiritual armor that Katerina doesn't believe she possesses has to be found. This time, it's not just the world that needs saving, but her own family as well. The only thing that stands between heaven and hell is her aunt, her children, Alys, Gregory and Kat herself.

This is the second book in Morrow's exciting spiritual series. She artfully blends her sense of family and crusade together with fibers of time-travel and faith. The reader can empathize with Kat and her family, as well as with Alys and Gregory, as they combat the ancient evil. It's interesting and innovative, getting the point of good- versus-evil across to the reader without preaching. This is a fresh story full of faith and family that will lift spirits and keep the pages turning until the very end.
