Paperback. Condition: Good. Based on a true story that hints at the presence of miraculous grace, The Silent Angel is a powerful account of human resilience and heroic faith set against the backdrop of the massacre of Christians during the Armenian Genocide.This tale opens up with a scene of carnage and devastation, from the ruins of a monstary to lifeless bodies--the doings of an army of young Turks.
