Her Strange Angels

What others are saying... Life is so much of the time a journey, as Sarah La Rosa puts it, "among the wreckage /of grand plans gone awry." And still, there is beauty, truth, faith and all the other angels that carry us. In Her Strange Angels, La Rosa points clearly to her encounters with the divine with honesty and heart-opening questions. It is good to travel with her for awhile. -Oriah Mountain Dreamer, author of The Invitation Her Strange Angels offers a resting place for the wandering soul in search of truth.

Each poem brings us into closer contact with the sacred, blessing our vulnerabilities and giving us courage and strength as we find our way home. - Kristen Roderick, Life Cycle Celebrant and Educator If somehow you find yourself with this book in your hands and your first judgemental thought is that it has no connection to you, bears no resemblance to your life, and that it's meant for "other people" just take a deep breath lady, close your eyes and turn to any page. You'll find yourself there. - Sarah Kapoor, Filmmaker, The Bad Mother From an enchanting voice filled with ancient wisdom and refreshing truth comes a book of poemprayers sure to ravish the heart.
