Homeless in San Diego, 15-year-old Renee Delaney meets a
straggly haired old hippie vagrant with striking blue
eyes. "Jesse" encourages Renee to go to Fairbrook,
California, where there is an excellent soup kitchen. With
the last bit of money she has saved, Renee takes Jesse's
advice.
After arriving in Fairbrook, Renee again sees the old man
spreading his bits of advice to others. In the cold rainy
weather, Renee finds shelter in a tree house with hopes of
finding a job. The new, young pastor Craig Houston joined
the ministry as a result of a bargain with God and is also
touched by Jesse and his advice to troubled residents
that "things are never as they seem." The warmhearted Jesse
is thought of as a psychic, since he knows so many personal
things about their lives and their problems.
Raised by her grandmother, Kristy Smith has given up her
dream of medical school to care for her son and her ailing
grandmother. Jesse encourages Kristy not to forget her own
value or to sell herself short. Jesse is an ethereal
presence who touches the soul of everyone he meets.
I loved Judy Duarte's previous book, MULBERRY PARK,
and ENTERTAINING ANGELS is equally as fantastic. I found it
to be a wonderfully fulfilling story of love and prophecy.
Jesse's subtle, caring character is a surge of faith and
belief as an angel spreading love and desperately needing
help among the residents of the community. Do not miss this
one!
Kristi Smith’s dreams of a college scholarship ended
abruptly when she became pregnant.
Now she works hard to support her young son and ailing
grandmother, staving off
regrets about the chances that slipped away.
Craig Houston, Fairbrook’s new pastor, is plagued by doubts
about his calling. But from his
first day in town he encounters folks who need guidance even
if they’ll never admit it. There’s
Kristi’s best friend, Shana, striving to be the perfect
daughter; Renee, a lonely, pregnant
teen, and Kristi herself, a vibrant woman unaware of how
much she has to offer. One by one,
Fairbrook’s residents will learn that the future can offer
redemption in unexpected ways…
