I Know Why the Angels Dance (2009)
I Know Why the Angels Dance is a healing salve; it incites a cleansing catharsis; it serves as a holy image-maker, mending hearts and minds with glimpses of heaven's glory. It opens spiritual eyes. We are all on a collision course with the unknown. Will it be a plunge into darkness or a passing from one existence into a brighter one?

Two fathers, one in the light and one in darkness, each face the reality of that passage, and both struggle to find and apply the healing balm. Yet, God uses the faith of a child to reach out to the downcast?the hand of an extraordinary girl leads them to the healing they long for.

Nathan Shepherd loses his parents as the result of a double murder. In order to protect him from the murderers, Nathan goes to live with a new family, his father's old college buddy and his daughter, Kelly.

A strange mirror in Nathan's bedroom sometimes shows images that aren't in front of it, including past events, unfamiliar scenes, and people who are supposed to be dead. Nathan obtains his mother's violin, which plays, not only beautiful music, but also voices that only Kelly can hear. He also inherits his father's camera, which takes photos of people and places that aren't there.

These odd devices launch Nathan and Kelly on an exciting multi-dimensional journey as they track down the mysteries surrounding the deaths of Nathan's parents.
