Guarding Lily is a heart-wrenching story of love, loss, and the quiet, enduring connection that proves until death do us part is not quite enough.
Were you ever in a situation on Earth when you suddenly, and without reason, felt peaceful? There's a better-than-likely chance that was your Guardian Angel.
When Bob wakes up in Heaven, he's given a new purpose: to become his wife Lily's Guardian Angel.
Bob quickly learns that Guardian Angels are not all-powerful. He can't protect Lily from everything that lies ahead, but he won't let her face it alone. He will help guide her through a world he can no longer be a part of, as a feeling, a moment of peace, or a gentle tap on the shoulder.
On Earth, Lily is discovering how to live in a world that doesn't make sense. Grief crashes into her life in waves of heartbreak, sacrifice, and changes she never asked for.
As the years pass, their lives unfold in parallel. Bob learning what it means to love someone from afar. Lily learning how to move forward when all she wants is to retreat.
Guarding Lily is a poignant exploration of grief, resilience, and the invisible threads that connect us. Perfect for readers who love emotional, discussion-worthy novels. This is a story that lingers long after the final page.
Because some love stories don't end. They transform.
