At midnight, Evelyn Dalton became an Angel. Her four boys became orphans. A tragic, but true story of a mother's struggle to survive, burdened by destitution and deteriorating health. Misdiagnosed symptoms leaves her hospitalized in a coma. Following the misdiagnosis of her symptoms, she is placed on a life support machine but days later, internal haemorrhaging continues unabated. The outflow of blood after the operation cannot be stemmed and she is unable to regain consciousness and subsides into a coma. Evelyn drifts towards a slow but peaceful death. In that instance, her four boys become orphans. The future of her for boys turns to a battle for their own survival. It appears their only salvation is to be cared for by foster parents, in a foster home or a dubious future in a Children;'s Home. In a heartless act of selfishness, their father abandons them to be with his long-time mistress. An excerpt from the book epitomizes the cataclysmic event. "It seemed dad didn't actually care where we lived, or how we lived, or even if we lived. We seemed to be an inconvenience. His life and love was pre-occupied elsewhere. Our lives had changed. Even orphans had some kind of love from someone. We had no-one to love us. Only the distant memories of love remained. Homeless, motherless, fatherless and destitute, they were all split up once more. Fate seemed to be against them, since 1962. Seven years of bad luck began." GOODREADS Review USA JWalch 5.0 out of 5 stars This memoir is pure dynamite! Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2020 When I offered to read and review Orphans of An Angel by Jay Aston, I had never heard of Jay Aston. I've read many personal memoirs, some are really well written and make for interesting reading, while others are... well, let's just say boring. Jay's blurb hooked me and reeled me in and I'm glad because Orphans of An Angel is one of the well written, interesting ones. I found Jay's memoir to be very well writte. This story, the way Jay tells it, does great honor to his mom, Doris. Although I had no idea who Jay Aston was when I began reading this heart wrenching memoir, I now feel as if I have known him and his brothers all my life. The love that Doris had for her boys and the pain bestowed on them by their father who abandoned them for another woman leaps off the pages. Any reader of these words who has even a modicum of empathy will experience that love and pain right along with them. The way Jay brings this memoir to a close will... well, read it to find out. GOODREADS BOOK REVIEW (UK) There is always something compelling when you read a true story and this one hooks you in. The content and flow will keep you reading the tragic circumstances until the bitter end. This is the kind of sad tale which will grip you and bring out your mothering instincts or protective shield. You just want to make it all better if you are a mum yourself. I do recommend this book, there was something about it which drew me in from start to finish. GOODREADS BOOK REVIEW Aug 11, 2020 Vicky Peplow rated it 5* An amazing read Wow! What a book. I have had a couple of late nights reading this book but it was so worth it. This poor family back in the 60's went through every hardship that any family could ever handle plus more. This book takes you on a roller-coaster of emotions throughout this book. I highly recommend it as it's well worth a read. FEEDBACK (from emails) FAB READ Get the tissues ready. I was gripped. Could not put down this book. Recommended. RIVETING - Difficult to put down. A very moving storyline. WHAT A STORY! Heart rendering story buy the book and box of tissues you will need them. SUNDAY LUNCH! Couldn't put the book down. Had to cancel Sunday lunch!

“An authentic cry of American innocence . . . The author seizes the reader with a Southern gift for storytelling and never lets go.”—Time Magazine It is the mid-1950s in Quarrytown, Georgia. In the slum known as the Ape Yard, hope’s last refuge is a boardinghouse where a handful of residents dream of a better life. Earl Whitaker, who is white, and Tio Grant, who is black, are both teenagers, both orphans, and best friends. In the same house live two of the most important adults in the boys’ lives: Em Jojohn, the gigantic Lumbee Indian handyman, is notorious for his binges, his rat-catching prowess, and his mysterious departures from town. Jayell Crooms, a gifted but rebellious architect, is stuck in a loveless marriage to a conventional woman intent on climbing the social ladder. Crooms’s vision of a new Ape Yard, rebuilt by its own residents, unites the four—and puts them on a collision course with a small-town Machiavelli who rules the community like a feudal lord. Jeff Fields’s exuberantly defined characters and his firmly rooted sense of place have earned A Cry of Angels an intensely loyal following. Its republication, more than three decades since it first appeared, is cause for celebration. “A humdinger . . . even better than To Kill a Mockingbird . . . funny, touching, and gripping.”—Chicago Daily News “Heartwarming . . . We find ourselves wondering why delightful novels like this aren’t written anymore, and grateful that this one has come along to fill the void.”—The New York Times “A flooded-with-life novel with a story to tell and characters to be cherished.”—Boston Sunday Globe

Of Orphans and Angels is a uniquely written romantic work, which combines three separate and distinct stories within one common theme. The theme is one of an orphan who by contact with circumstance, need, and the aristocratic society of the time is given the opportunity to ascend the heights of social and material success. All of the central characters, Hannah, Allecia, and Lainey depict love and sadness, tragedy and elation. The struggle of the individual to prevail over adversity and the hard coldness of realities worst is what all three of the leading ladies' characters project. Woven intrinsically into the fiber of each story is the moral dilemma of wealth, dignity and social station versus poverty, faith and societies bare essentials. The victor being that of the individuals own faith and tenacity to overcome the power and false illusion of wealth. Set in various localities from England to America from Canada to Switzerland, the excitement of the varied settings is eclipsed by the unexhausted valor and self-actualization of the varied heroines. You will love Hannah, wonder about Lainey and be totally mystified by Allecia.
