“The Making of an Angel”: the story of a
Christmas Tree ornament who must learn to care about others to become a
true angel. “The Making of an Angel” is the creation of published
author, Janet Ortbals, a hair stylist of forty-eight years, mother of
three, and grandmother of six.
“After graduating high school, I entered and
completed cosmetology school. I have been a hair stylist for forty-eight
years. I wrote several books over 26 years ago but never tried
publishing them because it was more difficult at this time without the
technological advances we have now. I was busy with my life as a wife
and a mother while working full time, so I put the thought of being an
author on the back burner. The last twenty-six years of my life have
been a mix of joy and sorrow. I raised three great children each with
their own dreams and ambitions. I have six grandchildren, ranging from
three to twenty years. Losing our middle son has been a life changing
experience, and his passing has been my inspiration for publishing my
book. We all have realized what really matters in this world.” --Janet

Ortbals’ new book tells the tale of a selfish Christmas angel who must
learn to see beyond her own demands.
Samantha is a Christmas ornament. As the
little angel at the top of the tree, her position as the star of the
Christmas Tree drives her to become self-centered and demand the
attention of everyone. It will take the kindness of someone special to
see through her rough exterior and a near tragedy to help her become the
angel she was meant to be.
