In a small, yet powerful book, author Virginia Merrill reminds readers to look for the good in others and remember someone is watching over you.

Virginia grew up in a home where money was tight and frequent moves were not unheard of. She never had the chance to really develop friendships or explore her world like other children did. She always felt her mother loved her brother more. Yet the one strong person in her life always was her grandmother. Her grandmother had the inner-peace that Virginia wanted- God in her life. She gave Virginia the inner-strength and taught her about the world, love and people - through her words and actions.

Throughout Virginia’s life when obstacles came, someone would come into her life that would make a difference to her and what was going on. She called these guardian angels. They will come when you least expect them and impart wisdom and love on you. They are always watching over you. It was through the help of her grandmother and these guardian angels that Virginia was able to be successful in school when others said she couldn’t. It was through her writing and poetry that she found her most creative outlet.

As readers go through “I Believe in Guardian Angels,” by Virginia Merrill, they will hear the author’s passion and excitement in her words and characters. They will go through each struggle with her and learn to build on their assets and love to be the person they are today.
