My Angel My Hero is a written testament to the power of love, faith, hope, and strength. It details the life and death of a woman named Snowe (Brenda's mother) who came as close to being an angel as possible, and a veteran of WW II who fought in the war as a Navy man, her father Earl, who is her hero. Earl also fought the demon of mental illness, and eventually won both battles.

They both were the generation who saved the world from the evil of Nazism and the tyrant called Hitler and suffered through the Depression. Both, especially Brenda's mother, were Christians with a strong faith that helped them through difficulties and hardships. Their faith gave them joy and love all during their lifetime. And now, their love is eternal. Even in death, it continues for each other and their loving Savior Jesus Christ and his Father.
