This book made me believe that ’Angels’ are around me as well.
Story about Johnny - a 17 year-old teenage boy who is a loving son, star brother and lover - who seems to have it all: scholarship to a college, family that adores him, girlfriend ’Becky’ he loves deeply and friends who rely upto him.
Hell breaks loose on prom night when Johnny and his girlfriend along with another couple are caught in an accident. Their car is pinned between a enormous truck and a highway divider. Everybody is injured except Johnny who dies on-spot behind the wheel with a broken neck.
The book tells us how life does goes on even though we think it never will. A family goes through changes as it copes with Johnny’s death. People who are close to him are inconsolable, especially his mother and Becky.
Unable to come in terms with his son’s death, his mother is admitted in a hospital where Johnny appears as an angel. He informs his grief-ridden mother that only she would be able to see him...and in the latter part of the story to his autistic brother.
Johnny guides his mother through tribulations as only an angel could.
Once you finish the book, you are made to wonder if that was angel who helped me the other day...:)
