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

My little hamlet had become a fairground. What crops I could see had either been trampled or damaged, their not-quite-ripe fruit swiped. Roman apologized, emphasizing that he had asked the people to be careful of the crops and stay to the road, but there were just so many. Punishment would be entirely on hearsay, and many, who were city folk, hadn't been aware they had stepped on people's crops. 


"I would have avoided the city, except I'm obligated to see if there are survivors."


"Well they're survivors now," I said as I sadly looked at the broken stalks of potato plants - the one's that hadn't been upended.


"You've done the best you could. You're only one man."
