EARTH ANGELS & MAGIC MOMENTS
Chapter 7:
The Angel on Main Street
Holly Castillo's eyes scanned the unfamiliar streets
of Port Hope, her one-year-old daughter Prudence
securely strapped into the jogging stroller. Two months
ago, they'd made the move for her husband's teaching
job, leaving behind the comfort and security of their
old life. As a stay-at-home mom, Holly felt isolated,
uncertain, and stuck in a rut.
That's when disaster struck. The stroller's tire blew
out, sending Prudence into a fit of wails. Holly's face
burned with embarrassment as she struggled to calm
her daughter. The townspeople seemed to be staring,
judging her. It was the final straw. Port Hope was not
going to work out.
But then, a guardian angel appeared. A young girl,
with a kind face and a bike, pulled up beside them.
