Good reading here

Hundreds of years in the past, an angel entrusts the future of mankind to a humble scribe who records the predictions to a set of sacred scrolls. The scrolls are then given into the care of the Mendares family to be held in trust forever. All goes well until the current time, when Dr. Alexandre Mendares scheming, manipulative wife steals the scrolls. If their holy words come into the public eye, world wide diseaster could occur. Alexandre is forced to use his own child to draw out his wife, but the little girl is just as quick witted as her parents. She enlists the aid of Manhattan editor Dani Arnold, who takes Maria in, believing she is a run away or abandoned. When Alexandre catches up with them, the two adults are suspicious of each other at first, but become allies in the race to save mankind. **** Kidnappings, mysterious forces, and romance draw readers into this action packed thrill ride. Despite the fast pace, Ms. Michael's hallmark warmth and tenderness come through every page. This is a women's version of Dan Brown. ****Reviewed by Amanda Killgore.
