At twelve-years old, how would you react if your best friend was diagnosed with cancer? A week before Christmas and Jamie's world is about to be shaken to its very core: his best friend Dan is diagnosed with a brain tumour. Jamie can't believe it; nobody can. He looks for assurance from his family and his other friend, Teddy, but their help is limited. Instead, he finds strength in his new neighbour, a kind yet strange old man with eyes like the ocean, who always seems to be there when he needs him. Life once again takes a whole new turn for Jamie when Dan reveals a secret: he woke up to find angels at the side of his bed and now he's no longer afraid of dying. Jamie finds it almost too much to take; his world and how he thinks of it is changing too fast; things don't make sense anymore. Once more, it's his new neighbour who comforts him and explains everything in a way that Jamie will never forget. It's only right at the very end that the identity of this mysterious figure, who has been like a mentor to Jamie, is revealed.Waiting for Wings is based on true events. A friend of mine was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2007, and a week before losing his speech he told us how he woke up to find angels at the side of his bed. Before his passing in 2008, I promised him I would write a book about him. I hadn't intended on publishing it as it was written as a gift for his family, but when they read it they said other people would be comforted by its message. With that said, I hope, after reading this little book, you understand that death is not what it seems to be.Praise for Waiting for Wings:"This book has blown me away!""Absolutely wonderful and endlessly comforting.""A beautiful story, written with compassion and hope for us all.""A touching and very realistic story of cancer from a friend's point of view.""Stayed awake until 4am 'cos I couldn't put it down. Very moving yet leaves you with a smile. A must read for all.""[A] truly inspiring read."Please visit and Like my Facebook Author Page: facebook.com/gavinwhyteauthorYou can follow me on Twitter at: @Gavinwhyte888You can read my blog at: https://trappedinamansuit.blogspot.comAlso available:The Girl with the Green-Tinted Hair: A Miraculous Fable - Book 1 (this is currently FREE so be sure to go and grab a copy)Happiness & Honey: A Miraculous Fable - Book 2A Stolen YouthMy Grandad's Hiding PlaceThe ebook cover for Waiting for Wings was done by my good friend, Peter O'Toole: http://www.peter-otoole.co.uk/
