Waiting on Wednesday: Kindred

Because we all have something we're waiting for.

Kindred by Tammar Stein
The first time I meet an angel, it is Raphael and I am eighteen.

Miriam is an unassuming college freshman stuck on campus after her spring break plans fall through. She's not a religious girl—when pressed she admits reluctantly to believing in a higher power. Truth be told, she's about as comfortable speaking about her faith as she is about her sex life, which is to say, not at all. And then the archangel Raphael pays her a visit, and Miriam's life will never be the same. Chosen to save two of her contemporaries, Miriam begins a desperate race to fulfill her mission. But why has she been chosen? And what is the real purpose behind her mission?

There have been a lot of angel related books lately, but this gets my stamp of approval. Why? There are PLENTY of high school YA books. We need more college age kids. Remember, we're YA, too.
