I have previously read and enjoyed Angels in Our Lives by Melissa Storm. It's just as enjoyable the second time through. It is a very sweet short story that involves a young girl who needed some extra help. Her angel shows up in the form of a dog named Lulu. She lends her strength in her times of need, is her confidant, and her best friend. She is there for her through changes in her life and is there to protect her. I loved this story both times and I would highly recommend it to others.

I have been provided with a copy of Angels in Our Lives by the author for an impartial review. This is the first book in the Diving for Pearls series and it was such a cute and easy read. This book I finished in an afternoon it just touched me with the emotions that ran throughout this book. It was a truly beautiful story and it just makes you think how wonderful it would be to have angels looking out for you.

I listened to the audio book. It's very good. I enjoyed this touching story about a girl and her dog. How she managed to overcome her disability. It's an excellent prequel. I'd definitely like to read more of her story.

I recently had the chance to listen to the audiobook version of the story. It is amazing.
Emily is a sweet six year old kid who loses the use of her legs and doctors say that it would take a miracle to get her walking again. Luckily for Emily she has her guardian angel looking after her tirelessly and she enters Emily’s life in form of a golden retriever dog. Once Lulu is officially a part of the family, Emily can be a carefree child again. But slowly the miracle does happen but as time passes by, Lulu grows old and the inevitable separation grows closer by the day.
I am a dog lover to the core and often love them more than some people even. So hearing an audiobook that involves a do absolutely made my day. I am not sure if I actually believe in guardian angels, but I do believe in a dog’s unconditional love and the comfort they bring into their household. They can really work miracles and I have seen it happen more than once. So needless to say, this book touched my heart in all the right ways. The author’s narrative brought the story to life and I really loved her narrative style in this one.
In short this is a short novella that will take about an hour to read at the maximum and is very touching. MUST READ!

Emily Bloom's life has taken a drastic turn after her and her mom have been involved in a car accident that has left her with a damaged spine.
Her protector angel believes she can support Emily the best if she is by her side in the form of a dog named Lulu.
Lulu helps Emily turn into the person she is meant to be, giving her the strength that she needs to get better.
A beautiful story on the strength we can get from the animals around us and the strength we get from ourselves in our darkest times.

Angels in Our Lives is a short, sweet story in the Pearl Makers universe.
It tells the story of a young girl named Emily. An unfortunate accident leaves her unable to walk. She needs a miracle. What she gets is a golden retriever named Lulu, who also happens to be her guardian angel.
Can Lulu help Emily through her journey of recovery? Will Emily ever walk again? And what will happen when both dog and child begin to age? Will Emily lose the best friend she's ever had?
As with the Diving For Pearls stories, this book will make you both smile and cry. Maybe even at the same time. It's emotional, endearing, encouraging, and showcases just how wonderful, and enjoyable, having a pet in your life can be. I really liked this story, and I'd recommend it to anyone who loves stories about angels, dogs, and the power of believing in miracles. Four stars!
