Synopsis

Michael Hieberts remarkable debut novel tells the riveting story of a small southern town haunted by tragedy, one brave womans struggle to put a troubling mystery to restand its impact on the sensitive boy who comes of age in the midst of it all. Abe Teal wasnt even born when Ruby Mae Vickers went missing twelve years ago. Few people in Alvin, Alabama, talk about the months spent looking for her, or about how Ruby Maes lifeless body was finally found beneath a willow tree. Even Abes mom, Leah, Alvins only detective, has avoided the subject. But now, another girl is missing. Fourteen-year-old Mary Ann Dailey took the bus home from school as usual, then simply vanished. Townsfolk comb the dense forests and swampy creeks to no avail. Days later, Tiffany Michelle Yates disappears. Abe saw her only hours before, holding an ice cream cone and wearing a pink dress. Observant and smart, Abe watches his mother battle small-town bureaucracy and old resentments, desperate to find both girls and quietly frantic for her own childrens safety. As the search takes on a terrifying urgency, Abe traverses the shifting ground between innocence and hard-won understanding, eager to know and yet fearing what will be revealed. Dream with Little Angels is by turns lyrical, heartbreaking, and shockinga brilliantly plotted novel of literary suspense and of the dark shadows, painful secrets, and uncompromising courage in one small town.

DREAM WITH LITTLE ANGELS A beautiful southern read!

I highly recommend both, as Abe and best friend Dewey......more

Goodreads review by Suzanne on August 18, 2016

Oh my gosh, little Abe Teal and his sidekick Dewey provide much comic relief to this gripping mystery. And, yet, in some ways Abe says the most profound things. Telling the story from the perspective of an eleven year old boy was so well done! I'll be continuing this series as soon as I can!!......more

Goodreads review by Kelsey on April 04, 2018

In many ways, this novel feels like it is trying to be a gender swapped update of To Kill a Mockingbird, but somewhere along the way it doesn't quite make it. I think the main difference is that To Kill A Mockingbird has a number of poignant scenes where wisdom naturally emerges from moments of chil......more

RECOMMEND TO ALL. This book is very well done. It is one of those that will stick with you for a long time.
