Remedy for a Broken Angel Toni Ann Johnson

''Remedy for a Broken Angel is an extraordinary novel about digging out from years of suppression to find forgiveness and to forgive. Johnson deftly exposes the many faces of patterns of abuse and how the ''unseen hand'' perpetuates and feeds the demons within. Author, Toni Ann Johnson writes with authority about the world in which the characters in her novel, Remedy for a Broken Angel, live as they endure an endless struggle for the truth. As you read this work, you might just hear the strains of jazz composer Charles Mingus' music seeping throughout Johnson's novel in its refrains and riffs of the complications of relationships.''--Chanticleer Book Reviews
