She lived with her mortician granddaddy in their combined house and funeral parlor. Alongside her best friend, Moody, a child with social challenges, Cal was captivated by local legends and embarked on a secret adventure to the forbidden depths of the Sabine River Bottom. During their innocent game of Indian scouts, they stumbled upon a murder confession, putting them in the crosshairs of the killers who sought to silence them as witnesses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRealizing the gravity of the situation, Cal was faced with a moral dilemma. Her solemn oath not to intervene in earthly matters clashed with the urgent need to protect those she loved. With only one angel available to summon on such short notice, Lucifer, the embodiment of light and power, emerged as her potential savior. However, her decision to gamble with the devil brought her to the brink of death and led her to Onward, where she would face a reckoning with their own prejudices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the revelations unfolded, Cal's story took a shocking turn. The circumstances surrounding her mother's death, the origin of her powers, and the identity of her father were revealed. The truth about her past was a Pandora's box of secrets, waiting to be uncovered. With every revelation, Cal's choices became more complex, forcing her to confront the demons of her past and make a decision that would shape her destiny for eternity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the end, Cal was forced to choose between her promise, her loved ones, and her own place in eternity. Her decision was a testament to her courage, resilience, and the depth of her love for those she cared about. Through her journey, Cal discovered that sometimes, the greatest sacrifices require the greatest courage, and that the true cost of redemption is not always measured in material possessions or worldly success.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 178g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 141 x 216 x 11 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781803413747\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penny Pickle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44696569053434,"sku":"9781803413747","price":8.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1698421232301_book.jpg?v=1698476843","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/shortage-of-angels-a-a-novel-9781803413747","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
