Maggie Seaver is on the run. With Angel, the seven year old she has raised with her estranged ex-partner. Rescuing her daughter is an imperative she can no more ignore than breathing—Angel has been abused by her caretaker. Instinctively, Maggie flees toward the only help she can believe in.
As she careens down the Baja peninsula with her ex-partner, the FBI, and the American media all in pursuit, Maggie cannot afford to trust any help she finds along the way; she can rely only on her instincts and her source of spiritual strength.
Yet, when she reaches her destination, the reception she receives turns out to be far different from anything she could ever have expected.
Stealing Angel is a riveting, unforgettable journey through the spectacular landscape of the Baja, and the landscape of a woman’s spirit.
