Summary: Rare perspective that grabs your heart and won't let go
Review: Dale Evans' tells this story from a child's point of view, before and after she was sent to earth. This unique perspective allows the author to explain all that she found "right" about her "afflicted" Down syndrome child, and all the gifts she truly offered her family.

Rating:
Summary: A short and beautiful story.
Review: I bought this as a present for my wife and it moved both of us to tears. Wonderful.

Summary: Still touching lives
Review: I doubt even Dale Evans knew how much this little book would touch lives. It was published in 1953 and my 6th grade teacher read the book to all of us in her class years later. Of course, we were all Dale and Roy's fans so we could not wait until the next day when she read another chapter. It is one book that I have read over and over again. It is amazing how Dale got Robin's message which was told from her point of view. If you want to read a book that is life touching, then read "Angel Unaware". The Bible verse from Hebrews is still my favorite verse.

Summary: This is an exceptional book, one to treasure always
Review: I first read "Angel Unaware" in 1969 after the loss of my first child. It made me cry then, and now 34 years later, it can still make me cry with its poignant beauty. I have shared this book (given it to) many friends through the years as they have also had to grapple with the loss of a child or grandchild. I would recommend this book to every parent, as Mrs. Rogers has such a strong message to share.

Summary: Beautiful
Review: I first read this book back in the late 60's as a youngster after my youngest brother was born with Down Syndrome. It is a lovely, beautiful, and tender story. No matter what your religious background, you can't help but be moved by this book. These children truly are perfect in God's eyes. They have been given the gift of a perfect spirit from God and we are blessed to have them among us.

Summary: a lesson in love and patience
Review: I read "Angel Unaware" about 20 years ago and could not put it down until I finished it. Mrs. Rogers said she was inspired by God to write this book and I know in my heart only someone in tune with God could have written such a heartfelt book. Over the years I lost my copy and have searched everywhere for another copy with no avail. After I got my computer, I found you folks and thank God, at last, I found my dream. I have never been able to think about or tell anyone about this wonderful book without feeling the wonderful warmth and joy I felt 20 years ago when I first picked up this book. I have never read a book since that touched me the way this book did. Thank you for preserving this wonderful work of art even now that the wonderful author, Dale Evans Rogers is at long last at home with that beautiful angel of hers.

Summary: Heart Warming
Review: I read Angel Unaware as a senior in high school in 1966. It stayed in my book collection as I moved to various states throughout my adult life. Then, thirty-one years later (8/26/1981) to the day of Robin's birth (8/26/1950), my "Angel" was born. I knew I had the book somewhere stored away. When Julie was 2 months old, I found the courage to look for it and stood right there in the basement by the open box of books and reread and cried as I realized that she and Robin shared the same day for their birthdays. We have come a long way, both in medical and personal support for persons with Down syndrome. But through the years, I have gone back and read the book again feeling a connectedness of Robin's "Angel spirit" to that of my daughter.
