Angels in a Harsh World Book

Haley Olsten's birth was foretold by a beautiful woman looking down from the sky, counseling her father to take good care of this precious child and prepare her for her mission. And so Franklin Olsten did his best. When, at age twenty-two, in l932, Haley announced her intention to travel to India, he hid his fears and let her go into the adventure of her own life. Haley's open heart absorbs the ancient wisdom of India eagerly, and her beauty and goodness attract everyone to her. But her innocence of real evil puts her in terrible danger. Affection for her traveling companion, Ann, makes Haley unable to see that envy has poisoned Ann's feelings for her and made her an enemy. Confidence in the goodness of the world makes Haley unwisely brave in going alone to the palace of Maharaja Damor Saling. And here begins Haley's real learning: first, of the existence of true evil, and then, of her own predestined role in fighting for good. Don Bradley believes that all of us are called upon to play a part in the constant, invisible struggle between the forces of good and evil. In Angels in a Harsh World, Haley's courage in finding the best and highest self within her defeats an apparently indomitable evil power. She is one of the "angels." Are you?
