Faith is something most people want but few of us want tested. In this moving story of personal loss, renewal, and faith, we see how one woman and her family find a very personal faith, yet one that can bring hope to others. This is the story of a child's death but it is also the story of life, of grief and of moving beyond grief. Carol Gino has an unconventional gift for faith and she shares it generously.
Life Changing . . . 5 out of 5 stars.

I discoverd the book, Then An Angel Came, by accident. I had been ill for three years with a debilitating illness called Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome. At one point, I thought it wasn't worth living. I decided to try to find some answers, first. So, I went to a bookstore, and stopped in front of an isle. I didn't know why I was here, but my eyes were led to a book titled, Then An Angel Came. I didn't know if I had enough money for it, and was prepared to use my credit card, but when I got to the counter, it was half price. I don't know why I was led to such a book, but maybe an angel helped me out . . .
I had been reading up on angels, and the title interested me. Then An Angel Came is a true story about a family. It is about a family who tries to keep itself together when a death in the family strikes. Teri, Carol's (the arthor's) daughter, loses her infant son, Gregory, to SIDS -- Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Each family member: Teri, her husband, Gordon, and their daughter, Jessie -- all deal with the grief in his/her own way. This doesn't only deal with the main family, but the extended family of grandparents (Carol being the grandmother of this child), and Carol's father . . . each memeber coming to grips with life and death on his or her own.
Carol then introduces her daughter, Teri, who is a skeptic, to the spiritual side of things and meditates with her. Through these meditation sessions, Janith, a guardian angel or spiritual guide, shows, and makes herself known through Teri. In a meditative state, Teri would write pages of journals with Janith's words and messages on them. Those messages are what pull a grieving family back on their feet.
Those messages, and this wonderful family, are what makes this book a true deep spiritual experience to read.
Editorial Review:
After the author's grandchild died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, a voice began to speak to her and her family--a voice that offered answers and more questions, comfort and challenges. In this unforgettable story, Carol chronicles the miraculous appearance of an angel named Janith, who came to speak to them through Carol's daughter National publicity.
