Based on a True Story

In the sweltering summer of 1956, Joann "Jo" Hollingsworth was just a barefoot girl with calloused hands and a heart full of dreams. Living in a tiny house packed with thirteen siblings, she never expected to meet her future in a redheaded stranger with a crooked grin and a guitar slung over his shoulder.

Bobby Lee Lowe was known around town as a cut-up-always quick with a joke and a tune. But when he showed up to help build the Hollingsworth family's new church, he found something more than hard work and hymns. He found Jo.

From front-porch dances and letters tucked into Bibles to hand-sewn wedding dresses and long factory shifts at the H.I.S. jeans plant, Jo and Bobby's love story is one stitched together by laughter, faith, and the quiet hope of something more.

But when the babies Jo dreamed of never came, the young couple turned to the only thing that had never let them down: prayer. For six years, they held on to God and to each other-until, in His perfect timing, they were given the miracle they had waited for.

Based on a true story, Special Angel is a heartwarming, faith-filled romance about the power of love, patience, and answered prayers. Full of 1950s charm, family joy, and the kind of devotion that stands the test of time, this tender novel will leave you believing in miracles.
