Written by Ethel Waxham Love, a Wellesley College graduate who went
to Wyoming in 1905 as a teacher in a one-room schoolhouse, and her
son, J. David Love, who later became an eminent geologist, Life on
Muskrat Creek tells the fascinating story of a family's day-to-day
life on an isolated ranch in early twentieth-century Wyoming.
Readers will be held in suspense as they learn about the family's
battle with a variety of challenges, including a near-fatal bout
with Spanish influenza, life-threatening encounters with livestock
and wildlife, and disastrous episodes of fires, flooding,
blizzards, and drought. The book's depiction of more ordinary
events is equally engaging; Ethel describes becoming a wife and
raising children without the support of neighbors, women friends,
or a wider family network, and David recounts growing up in a wild
and remote place where there was no local school to attend. Readers
from all walks of life will find Life on Muskrat Creek to be a
lively and provocative book.

When angel encounters happened in my own family, with healing
messages for me, and with my Son's angel appearing to him at the
age of six, I began sharing our story with others. As they
listened, many then began sharing their own miraculous stories with
me. These are true stories about life changing, divine
interventions and angelic encounters. When angels appeared, many
came with beautiful, and inspirational messages, full of loving
guidance. Some stories are about individuals who were saved by
their guardian angel. In some instances, their divine intervention
helped to change the course they were on in their lives through the
messages given to them by their angel. Many went on to complete
their life's destiny because of their blessed experience. God has
blessed us by providing each and every one of us guardian angels to
guide and protect us throughout our lifetimes, until the day an
angel leads our soul back to Heaven with God. As you read about
these heavenly interventions, you will be inspired by each one of
these beautiful and amazing stories.
