Someone to Watch Over

Winner, Rising Star Award, Women’s Fiction Writers Association When Lennie returns home hoping to learn the whereabouts of a child her estranged father made her give up for adoption 25 years ago, she learns he has died, taking to his grave the answer she craves. Desperate to find her only child, seat-of-her-pants Lennie sets out on an emotionally charged childhood vacation re-creation with her fanatically planful brother to find a mythical angel in the Appalachian Mountains who can supposedly put children in touch with their departed parents. Love weaves families together across generations. But can it stitch the divide between life and death? Lennie’s answer hinges on a make-or-break risk that either will lead to inconsolable heartbreak or a second chance at love with the child she never knew.
