A tom-boy, adventure seeker, risk-taker, dare-devil, aspiring circus performer, Dr. ten Brink finds truth and humor in every stanza of her poem, Putting Guardian Angels to the Test, and has the scars to prove it. She hoped to convey youth's acceptance, invincibility, and ignorance of danger until the pain is greater than the thrill. Thank you, God, for providing angels to guard us, accompany us, and see us through life's trials. The epic poem tries to capture all (most) of the learning experiences of childhood that always (usually) results in a skinned knee or stomped toe or trip to the emergency clinic. The only reason we made it out alive is that our faithful guardian angels were on hand to protect us from further harm. Remember, Hansel and Gretel had fourteen angels watching them as they slept! Her book is gorgeously illustrated with iconic renaissance art from the great masters, now in public domain, that resembles a rich, tapestry, housed in an ornate gold-gilt frame. www.author-barbaratenbrink.com
