NOT QUITE AN ANGEL
A man searching for purpose. A woman needing saving from herself.
When the Man upstairs wants a fellow to do something, the methods aren't exactly clear cut. As he stood on a lonely country road in Kansas, Kevin Lonergan figured the two flat tires were a message but a really garbled one. He hated the country even though he'd grown up on a farm. Or possibly because he had. The city was his preferred habitat. But he'd been the one to take the Wellington exit off the Kansas Turnpike on a whim. He was drifting, no destination in mind and now he needed one because he'd been stupid and not recharged his cell phone's battery either. Nice pattern of self-destruction, Lonergan. Lose your wife, your calling, and your way. What came next? A semi to turn him into road kill?
Rella Scofield knew where she'd gone wrong. She'd jettisoned common sense and clung to the two things that she'd always wanted: children and a home in the country. Her marriage had been a travesty long before her husband had taken his eighteen-wheeler on the road one final time and ended up in that big truck stop in the sky. Since his demise, she'd been scrapping to make a living for her kids and telling herself things would work out. But they weren't and to prove it, storms had taken out the landline phone, her nearest neighbors had headed into Dodge City, and the baby her husband had never known about had decided to arrive. She was stranded with only her 6- and 7-year-old children and in labor. She needed a miracle.
Which was when he arrived.
The kids thought he was a guardian angel, but his smile was that of a being who was NOT QUITE AN ANGEL. She wished she could keep him earthbound at her side. All she offered was complications and he needed more than her sad little family to hold him.
Or did he?
