Angie: The Most Beautiful Sound of All — Charles E. Buchanan

Angie is no ordinary young girl. She is a girl who is gifted with the remarkable ability to memorize any song she hears, no matter what the language. Her talent touches other aspects of her life, as well; and it will lead her into the entertainment industry-and ultimately-into the seedy world of politics. There is another side to Angie, however. She is a Messenger of God sent to earth to deliver words of peace. In order to carry her messages, she must appeal to as many people as possible-and to do so she must travel across the world. Her fame gives her the platform on which to deliver the messages; and the friendship of a rich and powerful man gives her the way. Through the course of her mission she encounters the unexpected, things she's never experienced before. She falls in love-and with that love comes a yearning for something she cannot have, for Messengers must die in order to lend weight to their message. She struggles with the pain of knowing her life must end, while doing her best to carry out the commandments of God. The worst pain of all is in knowing that she will have a child, but will not live to experience the joys of motherhood. Angie is more than human, however, and she finds a way. Experience her joy, her pain, and her sorrow-and come to understand what it means to have faith, to believe in something more than what and who we are.
