Green Angel This past March I read an amazing book entitled Green Angel. The author of Green Angel is Alice Hoffman. She is a really good writer by the way. This is a fictional novel.

On the way to their trip they faced a horrible accident and all burned, but the daughter, Green, ran and saved herself. Form that day on she was haunted, not by ghosts but by memories and loss. She struggled to survive. She tries taking her life several times but failed all the times she tried. Emotionally she was destroyed. Before this terrible accident she was a happy, loving, great girl. Now she is a dark, quiet, lonesome soul. She dreese in black as to before, she was a rainbow. A new boy came to town and learned about her past. He proposes himself to bring back that one girl that existed before. At first he had trouble even getting noticed by Green. Then when she finally noticed him, he tried to make her laugh. That way she could laugh after years of not even smiling. She went back to the girl she was before and they lived happily ever after.
