The guardian angel

At seventeen, Johnny has his whole future ahead of him. He's getting ready for university, has a lovely girlfriend, and is the pride and joy of his parents. Until a stupid accident one spring evening, in which he is killed.

The months following his death are a terrible ordeal for his family. Especially for Alice, his mother: Johnny was her eldest son, her confidant, the one who made her heart beat in a special way. Unable to overcome her grief, she eventually fell ill and had to be hospitalized. It was then that she had a vision: Johnny was sitting beside her, at the foot of her bed, urging her to be strong and help her family regain the will to live. At first incredulous at this apparition, a real miracle that enables her to find her missing son, Alice soon has to face the facts: Johnny is present, visible only to her and her young son, who has been silent for years. As the weeks go by, he brings comfort and hope to those he left behind so abruptly, working alongside his mother like a guardian angel to encourage them to make plans and believe in the future once again. But the true purpose of Johnny's return to them will become clear to Alice the moment her son completes his mission and leaves for good this time... A purpose that will light up their lives forever. A deeply moving love story, full of hope and courage, tears and laughter. A magnificent novel, warm and moving, that teaches us to accept the unacceptable and let life's lights shine.
