On Angel's Wings
by Louisa Lilias Plunket Greene
'On Angel's Wings' Summary
Violet, a young girl with a unique appearance, prefers to observe life from her window rather than participate in the world outside. The other children label her a 'hunchback,' and though the adults try to protect her, they grapple with how much to shield her from the harsh realities of their judgment. The story delves into the emotional turmoil of being different, the conflicting feelings of love and fear within a family, and the complex dynamic of protecting a child while preparing them for a world that might not embrace them. Through Violet's journey, the book explores the power of acceptance, the importance of compassion, and the profound impact of childhood experiences on shaping our understanding of ourselves and the world.Book Details
