Awesome book

Poppy reaches out to everyone and anyone. Regardless of whether you are religious or not, this book will connect with some part of you like nothing else. It is an inspirational story of a former movie actress who loses faith after a life full of heartache and loss, only to gradually find it again in an unexpected and quite mysterious vistor in her darkest days late in life. It took me by surprise how much I enjoyed this book, and I'm sure it will surprise and touch you, too.

Purely Spiritual And Uplifting!

Such a powerful story for such a small book. I was truly impressed with the messege this story had to give. I can only hope that when I am old I have a little angel to help me along the way. This story will touch your heart and uplift your very soul.

Touching and inspirational

Poppy, Angel of Love is a well crafted and inspiring story of love. I do believe that people come into our lives for a reason and I believe there are angels out there watching over us. This story shows that miracles do happen and that we are not alone. A must read for inspiration and hope.

The Small Book with a Big Heart.

When is the movie coming out? This is a touching story of multi generational proportions, and the little child shall lead her. A great book to take on a flight, or snuggle up on the couch with a hot cup of tea. Where positive triumphs over negative, where smiles will heal tears. Get it, enjoy it and tell others.
