Publisher's Synopsis
In Meriwether's first work of fiction, reality meets with the supernatural on a snowy Christmas Eve as thirteen-year-old Hazard Stiles discovers a stray horse in the darkness. When he ropes the horse to return it to its owner, he finds himself being lifted into the air -- the stallion has wings! Hazard drops to the ground and is face-to-face with two mysterious figures. So illusory is their presence that he believes them to be angels sent to answer his prayer of a cure for his father. From that moment on, the destiny of the Stiles family is forever changed. With unrelenting suspense, this action novel carries the reader through a fateful highway accident, mounting apprehensions about life-threatening illness, bitter strife between husband and wife, difficult decisions about family responsibility, horse thieves, the kidnapping of two teenagers and a double murder to drive the story to a gripping climax.
