“Heart of a Warrior Angel by Lali A. Love recounts the harrowing life and family history of Lilac Noble, a young girl from the country of Georgia, as she struggles to liberate herself from the shadows of her past. From the systemic abuse and repression that has long scarred her family tree to post-traumatic stress symptoms and the battle between traditional healing and modern therapy, this story touches on some of the most challenging issues people face today. The raw emotions the author is able to manifest are palpable and unforgettable. As readers vicariously wade through financial hardship, loneliness, pain, death, and the long-term effects of grief, Lilac’s sheer determination becomes impossible to ignore. She is a modern-day heroine – far from perfect and layered with her own scars, but accepting of her emotional volatility and actively working to better herself and others. Some of the more graphic sections of abuse and trauma are disturbing, but they are never gratuitous, as they are core to Lilac’s story. A thoughtful and challenging novel about perseverance, Heart of a Warrior Angel is a moving tale that should help others find their own inner strength in the face of life’s mounting hardships.” —Editorial Review, SPR
“I could not put this book down. Lilac Noble’s story of harrowing childhood abuse caused by generations of deep social conditioning and fear is gripping and real. The reader is transported into the protagonist’s mind as she re-lives her past to uncover her family’s dark truth. But this is not a tale of despair. In an age where so many are struggling with trauma, weak mental health and a lack of connection to their inner spirit, Lilac’s story is a reminder of the resilience of family and the human heart. She finds the courage to use the intuition she had suppressed for so long and to seek her own truth—her Soul purpose. This book is for anyone who has struggled to find meaning in their darkest moments. As I read each chapter with anticipation, the words of Leonard Cohen played softly in the background until Lilac’s journey of the discovery reached its crescendo: “There is a crack in everything; that’s how the light gets in.” Indeed, Lali A. Love teaches a fundamental lesson: that the purest form of love is the one that comes from within.” —Reader Review, Lesley Warren
“Hauntingly beautiful is how I can describe this book. The message of good vs. evil throughout each chapter is a reality most of us can relate to. However, the story digs deep beyond the scars and pain, but yet subtle poetry reveals itself from the power of unconditional love. There are so many lessons about higher self, love, and what spirituality is from the eyes of the main character. Beyond this world, a higher source is present… I recommend a highlighter, and a journal as this is not only a fictional novel but a foundation of self-healing for all divine feminine. Thank you for this emotionally-charged, compelling, and inspirational story.” —Blogger Review, Divine’s Purpose
“Lali A. Love is clearly writing from the deepest places in her soul. I truly believe that storytelling and fiction is an art that can help us face some of the scars from our past, and the open, honest, and thoughtful way. Some of the heavy subjects that are written about in Heart of A Warrior Angel will bring emotional healing to readers.” —Amazon Verified Review
“Author Lali A. Love delivers a superb tale that encompasses a great many different lessons about the human spirit and the divine power to overcome darkness, and as such it will read as both realistic and inspirational despite its supernatural themes and settings. Lilac makes for a highly relatable central character, and I really enjoyed Love’s narrative style and how it brings us closer to the protagonist’s most intimate thoughts and feelings. I felt that the subject matter of abuse was sensitively handled and given an empowering storyline as the plot moved forward, which grounds the piece in realism but also pushes towards hope rather than victimhood. Overall, I would definitely recommend Heart of a Warrior Angel: From Darkness to Light to readers who enjoy emotive family sagas but also want real inspiring messages which underpin the emotional adventures they read about.”—K.C. Finn, Readers’ Favorite Review
“Heart of a Warrior Angel is a book about courage and determination, love for family and a thirst for justice. Lali A. Love does a good job creating a descriptive storyline. All characters have backstories, offering readers some perspective as to what might have happened, which, I believe, is very important to create a memorable, impactful story. If you love fantasy fiction and are drawn to books that depict the actuality of human emotion and make the story relatable despite its obvious fiction-ness, then you’ll really enjoy this book as did I. Overall, I won’t give any part of the story away but this is a well-constructed story that very well depicts the emotions and feelings of human beings while taking us on a rather fascinating journey of love and unwavering devotion to family.” —Amazon Verified Review
