Maura's Angel

150 pp. January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-380-97590-4
(4) 4-6 In war-torn Belfast, eleven-year-old Maura, whose father is an IRA member and whose brother is a political prisoner, struggles to hold her family together. After an angel appears in the wake of a bomb blast, Maura discovers reserves of inner strength. First published in Great Britain in 1977, the fantasy is an interesting but not completely successful look at coping in the midst of political and religious strife.
