"A jewel of a book by this celebrated Chicana lesbian writer chronicling 'one small human being's struggle for survival, ' her 21/2-pound premature baby boy. While the specifics belong to Moraga and her loved ones, the tale is told in common with every woman who has experienced the wonder and terror of pregnancy, the trauma of a child's near-death."--Jacket.

""Waiting for Wings" is based upon the true story of Angel Rae's journey from shelter dog to therapy dog. As a therapy dog, Angel is content to lay still while school children use her as a pillow and read books to her. While doing her job, she notices a little boy sitting alone in the corner. Why is he waiting? Angel eventually learns why Timmy is waiting, and her story inspires all of us to find our wings and take flight."--Back cover.
