    Lois Francis

    eBook

Family secrets are revealed, her on-off boyfriend disappears when she needs moral support and then she gets appendicitis!Lorna wakes up in hospital after emergency surgery to see an angelic figure sitting on her bed. "I know you don't believe in angels, but I'm here to help." This is the beginning of a life changing journey of self-discovery. She soon discovers that angelic help can be both fun and challenging as she is lovingly supported to find ways to improve her life.By the end of the book you will find yourself rooting for Lorna, her friends and family, hoping that they will find the happiness that had eluded them.You may find yourself relating to the challenges that Lorna, her family and friends face. This is a heart warming story that introduces many self-development ideas and techniques which you can apply to your own life, borrowing from the wisdom of Lorna's angels! Author's noteThis book draws on 20+ years experience of coaching clients using a variety of counselling tools. I was inspired to write it and bring people's attention to the idea that they are already perfect human beings, even with their so-called imperfections. Using the vehicle of a novel seemed to be a good way to do this.I am sure I had angelic help in writing the book, it almost seemed to write itself. There were times when I could hardly wait to sit at my computer to write as I wanted to know what was going to happen next with my characters! Scenes and dialogue would drop into my head, together with concepts which I knew had to be included.I'm intrigued that the angels want me to tell their story in the next book, already ideas are "coming through" and I can't wait to sit down again and start writing.I sincerely hope that you will enjoy this book and get something out of it, even if it is only the knowledge that you are already a perfect human being.
