Sometimes the Only Way to Heal a Broken Heart is Through a Wounded Soul
Published by Author Chuck Miceli
Wounded Angels is a literary novel that explores the transformative power of friendship, healing, and unexpected grace. On a sweltering Fourth of July, fourteen-year-old Maureen Bower’s father’s suicide shatters her security, leaving her with a lifelong fear of abandonment that will shape her entire life.
Years later, Frank Russo’s gentle invitation—”May I have this dance”—at a roller skating rink introduces her to the love of her life. But their fifty-year marriage is tested by war, guilt, loss, and the deepest betrayals of the human heart. When Frank’s sudden death rekindles Maureen’s primal fear of abandonment, she finds herself on the brink of despair.
Help comes from the unlikeliest of sources: Doris Cantrell, a woman as damaged and broken as Maureen herself. Their tentative friendship grows, not despite their brokenness, but because of it. Wounded Angels is a testament to the strange and sacred ways God sends us the help we need, often in the most unexpected forms.
Perfect for readers who love:
- Literary fiction exploring deep human relationships
- Stories of resilience and emotional healing
- Character-driven narratives with spiritual depth
