The Canopy is one of Angela E. Hunt’s golden novels that is timelessly thought-provoking. In this novel she asks the question, do you believe in miracles? She goes on to ask, do you believe that only God can perform miracles in our lives? For the main character of the novel, the answer to this question will determine her future. The Canopy deals with subjects such as the Amazon jungle, terminal diseases, the search for a cure, family ties, friendships, romantic relationships, truth, lies, despair, joy, healing, redemption, and God’s unfailing love. The opening chapters introduce the reader to the main character, a woman named Alexandra (Alex) Pace. Alexandra is a neurologist seeking to discover the cure for a disease that is overtaking her own body. She has told no one of her diagnosis, and is desperate to find a cure before it passes to her daughter. For this reason, she agreed to be part of a team traveling to the Amazon jungle to discover the secret cure….long hidden in the possession of an obscure tribe of natives living deep in the jungle. She first learned of this cure from a British doctor named Michael Kenway. His enthusiasm regarding the possibility of a cure was infectious (no pun intended), and spurred on her decision to make the trip. Alex’s determination to conceal the truth from her daughter is becoming increasingly difficult to implement, mainly because of the caring concern expressed on her behalf by a certain British doctor. As the team travels deeper into the forest, the disease settles into every corner of Alex’s body. She will not be able to hide her diagnosis for much longer. While the disease is trying to take her life, two forces are fighting for the possession of her soul. One brings only darkness, while the other promises life and light for eternity. Weak and sick, Alex is tired of fighting, and begins to lose hope. Only when she witnesses the healing of a member of the fabled tribe are her eyes opened to the truth. Will Alex choose Jesus? Or will she give in to the lies of the enemy? And where does love fit in to all this? To answer these questions, read the book! The Canopy would make a very interesting Christian film in the suspense genre, as it is easily one of the most unique Christian novels on the market today. We here at Box Office Revolution are still waiting for the day when Christian filmmakers will recognize the potential found in brilliant Christian novels such as these.

Similar to the first novel, this one begins with Kathleen O’Connor, an English major who is curious to discover more about the famous women in her lineage. All of the women Kathleen will discover fulfilled Cahira O’Connor’s prayer that bright stars would break forth from the course to which they were bound. This time, Kathleen looks into the story of Aidan O’Connor, a young Dutch woman who was raised on the tumultuous shoreline of Java, Indonesia. Growing up among prostitutes and criminals has made a difficult life for Aidan, and she has always longed for something more than the lot she has been dealt.
