Bad Angels

by Lee J. Erickson

This is the tale of the Rosen family. Sam is the owner and operator of a Jewish deli in Denver, Colorado, and father of two kids, Jacob and Hannah. Sam’s wife, Rebecca, dies in a tragic accident, leaving the family struggling with how to get on. One bad decision after another leaves the family in desperate need of change. Change begins on the sidelines of the soccer field when Sam meets Laura and her son, Edom, and the lives of the two families quickly intertwine. Laura has her own set of family-related problems – problems that push them in uncomfortable and dangerous directions, and unfold second chances to make things right. One of those second chances belongs to Sam’s deceased wife. Rebecca awakens from her accident to meet Destiny and the two of them live a life of booze, drugs, and rock ‘n roll in Las Vegas – until Rebecca is reminded of her children and the problems they are encountering. She feels compelled to do something and tries to get closer without revealing her identity. Through a remarkable series of events, Rebecca and Destiny end up in the right place at the right time. Bad Angels reveals the collision of the probable and the improbable – and sets up a surprise ending that keep readers engaged long after the book is read.
