Angels of a Lower Flight: One Woman's Mission to Save a Country . . . One Child at a Time Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I must commend Ms. Krabacher and the editorial team at Touchstone for producing such an excellent product. My daughter and son-in-law have travelled to Haiti several times and reported that the conditions there are simply horrible. Thank you to Ms. Krabacher's organization, the Mercy & Sharing Foundation, for the humanitarian work you are doing there.
As to the book itself, "Angels of a Lower Flight" chronicles the journey of a person who eventually finds her life's purpose through helping others. Susie Krabacher was born with many strikes against her, prediminately a chaotic family situation and a sexually-abusive grandfather. She seeks security and significance through external affirmation, eventually rising to a model, actress, and Playboy playmate and centerfold. She discovers that all the glamor and excess leaves her wounded, searching, and emotionally stranded. Through a strange twist of fate, she decides to travel to Haiti with a friend. Upon arrival, she immediately gets to work and forms a feeding clinic. The work in Haiti eventually becomes her life's work, and she forms the Mercy & Sharing Foundation, which has grown today to include orphanges, schools, and medical clinics.
Ms. Krabacher's story is a satisfying and an extremely quick read. It leaves you thinking and wondering about life's mysteries much longer. A single chapter, chapter 19--titled "One Child"--is worth the price of the book alone. In this chapter, Ms. Krabacher poignantly describes the plight of just one of her orphans, a young boy with a heart condition named Ashley. She tells the story straightforwardly, not exploitingly or carelessly. I won't tell you how it endds, but I will say that Ashley's story reaches straight to the heart. There are so many needy children around the world, and sometimes we can get lost in the sheer numbers. But this chapter puts it all in context--each person is important and valued. This seems to be Ms. Krabacher's overall message in life.
I highly recommend this book.
