Angels, of Course, is an inspirational book where author Win Tuck-Gleason provides a compelling account of several moments in her life, ranging from her early childhood to adulthood in the 1990s. First, she had encounters with ethereal creatures she recognized to be angels. Her first such experience was when she was surprised by mysterious music while her toddler self lays in her cradle. Then, there was an episode when an angel observed her playing the piano through a window in her house. Finally, she talks about the long road trip during which the angels kept her safe. This encounter is retold over several chapters and includes illustrative paintings made by Tuck-Gleason herself.

The author is a compelling storyteller, making the reading fluid and effortless. The chapters are short and not dependent on each other. This makes it perfect for the reader who wishes to pick up a book and read a chapter at a time. Readers looking for a religious outlook when dealing with hardship can receive some comfort from someone who has been in dark places but has always found help in her angel visitors.

Another aspect that deserves attention is the personal touch given by the author as she describes different classes of angels that she has witnessed and the fun names and situations related to them. The author has really opened herself up in this book, allowing readers into her personal thoughts and seeing the world as she does.

This thought-provoking book addresses the concept of angels from a Catholic doctrine. However, readers of other faiths can still take away the feeling of hope, comfort, and being watched over. These stories are entertaining and encourage self-reflection in the readers.

Angels, of Course, is Win Tuck-Gleason’s memoir, detailing her encounters with angels. This compelling collection of encounters gives readers a lot to think about and may open their minds to things that they can not see.
