When an Angel Intervenes is an inspirational work of fiction based on real events, exploring survival, faith, and the moments that quietly changed a life forever.

In the United States, suicide claims thousands of lives each year. Behind every statistic is an individual story-a life shaped by pain, circumstance, and unanswered questions. No two stories are ever the same, and those left behind are often left wondering why.

In 1986, at the age of sixteen, I survived a near fatal suicide attempt. When an Angel Intervenes is my story-told through fiction-and written for anyone who has struggled or loves someone who has.

The novel follows Bill and Erika, who set out for what is mean to be a pleasant evening together. When Bill attends his twentieth high school reunion, the night takes an unexpected turn. He experiences a disorienting journey into his past and is confronted with a moment he once believed would be his last-and with a gift given on that night that would quietly alter the course of his life.

Written with honesty and restraint, When an Angel Intervenes explores trauma without naming it, despair without glorifying it, and survival without simple answers. It is a story about interruption-about the thin space between life and death-and about what can follow when hope arrives in unexpected ways.

If you or someone you love may recognize themselves in these pages, this story is for you.
