Although Elizabeth died giving birth to her daughter, her death wasn’t the end. She awakens to find her sacrifice has transformed her into a special kind of angel—a protector—and if she is able to help her charge through the Pearly Gates, she too will be welcomed into Heaven.
Elizabeth is both heartbroken and overjoyed when she finds she’ll be watching over Daisy, the daughter she never got to meet. She’d like nothing more than to live with her little girl in paradise, but being a guardian is hard work. Will Elizabeth be reunited with her daughter, or forced to suffer in silence as she watches Daisy make mistakes that place her just out of Heaven’s reach?
This tale of sacrifice, redemption, and unyielding love is for anyone who believes in angels—or is looking for a reason to believe.
Just released the full collection today. It is a major fan favorite though!
White flowers hung down from an overhead trellis and gossamer fabric fluttered in the soft breeze, giving the normally urbane backyard an ethereal feel. Tina appeared, stunning in her classic A-line gown, embroidered with delicate, pink pearls.
Elizabeth couldn’t shake the sad sense of nostalgia, not on this day, because it should have been her. It had been her a lifetime ago, and now…
She floated toward her late husband, allowing herself to pretend if only just for a moment.
Theo’s face had aged so much in the time since Elizabeth had moved toward the Gates, yet he remained as handsome as ever. His eyes bore straight through her and fixed on his new bride as she made her ascent to the altar. Although Elizabeth hated to admit it, Tina did look lovely. Her dark complexion contrasted beautifully with the form-fitting, ivory gown. Her black eyes beamed as she walked toward her future husband.
Then there was Daisy, a vision in pink, her bouncing curls spritzed to perfection. She giggled as she held onto the leash of her fluffy Pomeranian puppy—so proud to be standing there with her daddy as they added this new member to the family.
Tina was the only mother she’d ever known, Elizabeth realized yet again, a deep sense of loss settling into the pit of her nonexistent stomach.
She’d known today was coming, known for a long time, but that didn’t make the actual occasion any easier. Sure, she was glad that Theo had found happiness once again, that Daisy had one more person to love and look out for her. But the already strained ties to her earthly life frayed even further, now that a replacement had been brought in.
