Angels on High is about a young boy who is intrigued by an elderly man's tales of his travels and adventures that brought meaning to his life after tragedy caused him to question his faith. It's about a young boy who must face his own burdens and learns through the stories of his best friend, Mr. Pulaski. It's about learning from Mr. Pulaski's stories of the intervention of God's angelic messenger, who, without his knowledge, guided him. It's about making a personal choice whether to follow God or to continue blaming him for his loss. It's about a young girl named Becky who is the new girl in town and her struggles to be accepted by her young male friends as an equal. Each of the four sections begins with true facts and stories that are meant to invoke thought as they introduce the next section. And it's about God's intervention to bring friends together and to lift the burdens of tragedy, sadness, and lost faith.
Although Angels on High is a fictional story, the experiences of the characters are, for the most part, based on the author's own personal experiences, and each one of the personalities of the characters is based on each member of his family and friends. The antagonist in the story is not any one person; it is the struggles and the tragedy that the characters face throughout the story--the loss of faith in God, the question of "why me," and the negative impact on each of the character's lives. It is the negative force that often weakens one's courage to overcome despair.
Follow Jimmie and Mr. Pulaski as they search for the courage to go on and face the difficulties. It is one man's disappointments that cause him to climb a mountain in the cold month of December in order to face his fears. Follow him in his quest to find inspiration and faith from the beginning to the end and his will to inspire others.
