 They were a three generation Italian American family steeped in traditional values. Carol Gino’s old world father was a stern disciplinarian who loved opera and polkas; her mother a shy, tradition-bound housewife, while Carol herself had made a spiritual journey away from her Catholic roots. But nothing in the Gino family’s past could ever have prepared them for the tragedy that would change all their lives forever.
For Carol it began with a phone call in the middle of the night; a call that brought unbearable news. Her grandchild, her daughter’s infant son, had died in his own crib of SIDS. Within hours, Carol was on a plane from California, returning home to the family who needed her more than ever.
After the initial shock, the members of Carol’s family each coped with the death in their own way. Carol’s father in stony silence, Teri’s husband with silent tears, Carol’s bereaved daughter, Teri, in rages against God. The baby’s sister, Jessie, with the innocence of a child. Then, as the family grappled with the loss, the inexplicable heartbreak of SIDS, and the need to go on with their lives, a new voice began to speak among them. It was a voice that offered answers and more questions, comfort and more challenges. It was the voice of an angel.
In this unforgettable true story, Carol chronicles the miraculous appearance of an angel named Janith who came to speak through Carol’s daughter. Meeting resistance and skepticism first, Janith slowly began to win over the grieving family as she showed them all a reality they had never before perceived, an interconnectedness that would explain the inexplicable and show a way into the future. In a remarkable series of sessions, Janith leads a shattered family through more pain and loss to the ultimate revelation, and a truly miraculous rebirth.

Endorsements:
One of the most moving, beautiful stories I have read.
I discoverd the book, Then An Angel Came, by accident. I had been ill for three years with a debilitating illness called Chronice Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome. At one point, I thought it wasn’t worth living. I decided to try to find some answers, first. So, I went to a bookstore, and stopped in front of an isle. I didn’t know why I was here, but my eyes were led to a book titled, Then An Angel Came. I didn’t know if I had enough money for it, and was prepared to use my credit card, but when I got to the counter, it was half price. I don’t know why I was led to such a book, but maybe an angel helped me out . . .
I had been reading up on angels, and the title interested me. Then An Angel Came is a true story about a family. It is about a family who tries to keep itself together when a death in the family strikes. Teri, Carol’s (the arthor’s) daughter, loses her infant son, Gregory, to SIDS — Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Each family member: Teri, her husband, Gordon, and their daughter, Jessie — all deal with the grief in his/her own way. This doesn’t only deal with the main family, but the extended family of grandparents (Carol being the grandmother of this child), and Carol’s father . . . each memeber coming to grips with life and death on his or her own.
Carol then introduces her daughter, Teri, who is a skeptic, to the spiritual side of things and meditates with her. Through these meditation sessions, Janith, a guardian angel or spiritual guide, shows, and makes herself known through Teri. In a meditative state, Teri would write pages of journals with Janith’s words and messages on them. Those messages are what pull a grieving family back on their feet.
Those messages, and this wonderful family, are what makes this book a true deep spiritual experience to read. – Customer Review
Satisfying on every level..
Like Carol Gino, I am the grandmother of a baby boy who died from SIDS. She not only captures every detail of the pain suffered by various members of a family that goes through such an experience, but, better yet, shows how even this most tragic of events can have some positive outcomes in the lives of the survivors.
Given the fact that Ms. Gino is a bestselling author, it is no surprise that the book reads like a novel. It will grab and hold your interest even if you have not lived through a tragedy of the magnitude of her family.
There’s no need to buy into all the concepts she introduces to learn and benefit from the wisdom that this book contains. Just be open to parts that speak to you and your world view, and you won’t be sorry. And, yes, be sure to have some Kleenex at hand – just remember that if you stay with the book until the end, your tears will be rewarded. – Customer Review
