About this ebook
The life you lived. The life you loved. The life you left…
For fans of Jojo Moyes and Cecelia Ahern.
It started out like any other day for Sarah Lawler; getting the kids ready for school, making the pack lunches and juggling baby Ella’s feeds.
There was no way of knowing that her husband, Paul, would leave for work that morning and simply not come home.
Now the questions are piling up quicker than the unpaid bills and, unable to answer her children’s questions about where their Daddy is, Sarah is getting desperate.
But it turns out she isn’t quite as alone as she thought she was. When her beloved childhood friend, Edward, comes back into her life, Sarah thinks she’s finally been thrown a life line.
There’s just one problem with Edward: Sarah is the only person who can see him.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I received this book from Netgalley and I am so glad I did!!Absolutely brilliant. This story starts with Sarah, a 30-something mom of 3 young children, receives an email from her husband that he is going through a mental breakdown and needs to get away for a while. She is beside herself, she only works a part-time job at a boutique and is busy with the kids at all times. But her husband Paul is the sole provider and since she's been married with him for 10 years, she cannot imagine a life where he is not in it. And then the energy changes…and her old friend Edward shows up. Edward is Sarah's guardian angel and hasn't shown his face since Sarah was 10 years-old. It's pretty apparent he's there to help her get through this, and luckily Sarah has her twin and best friend, James to help her with the kids, as well as her mother-in-law Rita who is a huge support. Ashamed of her son, Rita takes care of the kids when Sarah has things she needs to do. But the money is running out. Edward levels Sarah out and tells her it is time to accept her gift, which as it happens, she is psychic. This leads her to be-friend her neighbor Birdie, her post-man Joey, and Edward has Sarah reconnect with her long-lost best friend Ruby. All these lives interconnect and beautiful things happen. But this book isn't all roses and sunshine and I LOVE that it had a dark side as well. Sarah receives visions of a woman getting bludgeoned to death and not too long later, her kid's school teacher, the very woman in the dream shows up dead. it's up to Sarah and her investigator brother James to put the clues together and find the killer. And even with all that going on, Sarah must confront her husband Paul and craziness comes from that. This book had so much going on, it didn't lose my attention for a second. It was such a happy read, the sad parts were more bearable and I just adored this book. An easy 5 stars for me and I don't give 5 stars easily! I must read more of Carmel's work!!
