"The angels...regard our safety, undertake our defense, direct our ways, and exercise a constant solicitude that no evil befall us." -John Calvin

Her young parents assume their precocious daughter has an imaginary friend until the three-year-old repeatedly tells them what she sees during incidents of undeniable angelic intervention. Butch and Mary Emig evolve as parents raising five children, one with unique abilities.
