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

It took me a night, but I came up with a rebuttal to that brat acting too big for his britches. I rehearsed it in my head till I could see him at lunch.


I didn't bring any lemonade or juice. He didn't deserve it.


Gus's expression tensed as he came up the gentle hill to me from the training grounds. He could see an incoming scolding from a mile.


"Should I bother sitting down?" he asked.


I pointed to a spot in front of me. He sighed before plopping down.


"It took me a minute to think over just how to deal with you threatening to rape me--"


He choked on his own spit. "I SAID NO SUCH THING!"


"You implied that you'd coerce me into doing the do-dah with you."


"Gus, you need to stop getting pissed off when I call you or treat you like a child because, get this, you are."


My fluffy teen (who still needed a haircut), pulled out his heavy scowl. He opened his mouth, but before he could say something he'd most likely regret, I cut him off.
