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

The novelty of driving a horse-drawn cart wore off quickly. The bench was hard, the backrest (if it could be called that), was harder, and the summer sun was merciless.


Oh yeah. I didn't do good in the heat. Freaking...freaking frack...ugh.


I'd been okay the day before since it had been overcast. But today I had no covers. Not even an excuse for a cover. The only thing I could do was covertly hook the reins on the seat and go to the back to dig through my chest for my garden hat. I didn't need to add sunburns onto my misery. At least I'd had the mind to wear a dress with long sleeves, loose and cool as they were.


I had just made it up front, dripping with sweat and generally light headed, when someone shouted from alongside my cart. I looked over to see a brown headed woman who didn't look like she should be jogging, let alone moving.


"Are - are you the healer?" she panted. "The one from the village?"


"Yes?" Oh screw it, this was just sad. "Do you want a ride?"
