She had only wanted to have a working marriage and a happy family. All of her efforts had been towards that goal. Despite that, her husband leaves her for another woman after the loss of her unborn child, and just as she starts to pick herself up, she dies in a car accident.

But this isn't the end of her story.

Her spirit is picked up by her brother. He happens to be a beginner god who needs help raising the hero who is supposed to save his fledgling world. Thinking he is offering her a long-sought-after opportunity to be a mother, she readily agrees, and he sends her down to his world with the gift of healing and a Methuselah grade body to aid her on her quest. She quickly finds her little boy and is overjoyed to have someone to love and baby at last. But this hero doesn't want her as his mother. He wants her as something else.

Suggested for ages 14+.

Raising a Hero

When I just continued to stare into my soup, partly because I knew I wouldn't be able to lift the spoon anyways but mostly because I didn't want to be thinking and in my body at the moment, Gus took the spoon and lifted it to my mouth. Unlike with Roman, I didn't protest, I just opened up and let him feed me.


"That's like telling me not to breathe." 


"You've done the same thing for me. Now we've both seen each other at our worst. And I didn't try to look."


A pause fell between us, in which he carefully spooned more soup into my mouth. He wasn't quite scowling, nor did he look in anyway happy. His eyes burned with some inner fury, all while his chin wrinkled slightly as though he were about to cry.


I closed my eyes tightly against the new wave of tears.
