Imagine you lost the two most precious things in your life, how would you react? What would you do?
Steve Coulson loses his wife and daughter in a road traffic collision and his life falls apart. He moves to a remote village on the coast of Scotland to try and lessen the pain, reduce the daily reminders and try to put his life back together.
A meeting with an enigmatic stranger seems to help him with his recovery. But who is this guardian angel, where did she come from and is she all that she seems to be?
This novella was a beautiful read. I began empathizing with the main character, Steve, within minutes. The “if-only’s” were rampaging through both Steve’s and my mind. I felt the enormity of Steve’s love and loss. What can a man do when his world comes to a screeching halt in a split second? The paranormal part really was beautiful. We both learned how to properly grieve and how to live again. We learned how to embrace the loss of love, how to replace the anguish with memories of happier days. By the end, Steve found a new purpose in his life. The grief will never fully go away, but he found a way to unite his past with his future. Steve found a way to live again. I also learned, even though this is paranormal, miracles can happen. They can seem small, like seeing someone in the distance just before you take that regrettable step. Or they can seem large, like finding the money to fund a new beginning. Either way, don’t question it, just count your blessings and accept it. I loved this book. I loved the innocent romance of the story. Love really is the recurring theme.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novella. The flow of the story was well put together and it became more confident as it progressed. I look forward to reading future works by this author.
This novella (16-17000 words)is an excellent debut ebook. builds great characters and delves into your emotions and has a great little twist at the end.
