Friends Forever - Mary Ann McRaney - Bog

One dark night, ten-year-old Cassie Bennett cried out to God to send an angel to help her. Neglected by her alcoholic mother and excluded at school by her schoolmates, Cassie desperately needs a best friend. Her cry for help brings a young angel to earth on her first assignment. As the story unfolds, Gabriella encourages Cassie to rise above her circumstances, conquer her fear, and let her light shine. Along the way, Gabby manages to help her friend resolve several issues including a school bully and a spoiled little rich girl. But the biggest challenge the girls face is the pedophile, who has just moved in the apartment complex and befriended Cassie's mother. Standing up to evil is not easy, but with Gabby's help Cassie learns to do just that. Their friendship transcends a tragedy, and the two girls remain "friends forever."
