Dan Sullivan 
Angels from the Valley 
Sometimes Even Angels Have to Cry

Why were these two beautiful baby girls abandoned? What happened to their mysterious mother and their biological father? What roadblocks did Bessie, a young African-American woman, run into when attempting to bring up these two marvelous white children as her own daughters, along with her own biological daughter?

For a while, no one seemed to care one way or the other, that is, until time had passed and the girls matured into their preteen years. When one of them displayed surprising athletic prowess, others became concerned.

Was it racial motivation or greed that suddenly brought the human roaches out of the woodwork in an attempt to snatch the girls away from Bessie?

Mom and her daughters faced steep odds in a rather bizarre court setting, but they managed to beat those odds, and the family continued to grow and thrive. This adorable and creative family eventually became darlings of the entire community. In time, the girls were referred to as the angels from the valley.

But in life, sometimes, before you can become an angel, you have to experience hell. Sometimes, even angels have to cry.

How does a family (or, for that matter, an entire community) react when hell raises its ugly head?

This is an easy read as you navigate through the many unexpected twists and turns, some of them enlightening and still others extremely unpleasant.

Daniel Sullivan was born in Weymouth, Massachusetts, in1943 and grew up there, graduating from high school in 1960. He immediately joined the US Coast Guard and served for four years, visiting ports from Newfoundland to Rio de Janeiro. After completing his service commitment, Dan joined New England Telephone and stayed with them until he retired from the company (now named Verizon). During his employment, he took night courses at Newbury College, working toward a degree in business. Dan still resides in Weymouth and enjoys traveling, boating, and fishing in his spare time.

During the service and later, Dan always had the urge to pick up a pen and write short stories for friends and associates. He published two books in The Princess series in earlier years, but this is his latest story.

Dan says anyone who ventures into the world of fiction should have a vivid imagination and the willingness to commit to the sometimes tedious time involved.
