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.

Raising a Hero

I tired easily. I gave up easily. I still went back to that mental stream sometimes.


But the mental stream had begun to give way to the dream Gus had created for us. Sometimes I'd roam around the flowers and bushes planted there, or walk among the small fruit orchard on the other side of the rock well. Sometimes I'd walk through the house, planning out the rooms bit by bit. It calmed me, this inane mental exercise, when my heart began to wail its doubts that I could ever be happy; that I had ever had a purpose to be here in the first place; that I might never see my Gus again.
