Isabel's Gift

Book excerpt: In a world where so much devastation exists, it is difficult to find a story that will touch your heart the way this story will.

This novel will not only touch your heart, it will change your perspective on life. Written from the culture that Silva-Barbeau grew up, you will learn much about the Catholic faith and the island town off the coast of West Africa where Silva-Barbeau grew up. Isabel's Gift takes a heartrending look at the world we live in from the eyes of a child. Join Isabel as she discovers what God has in store for her and her future. This story begins before Christmas as Isabel begs Santa for a brand new pair of shoes and ends up asking for a far more valuable gift from God.
