Lost Angel cover

Hope never dies… The dramatic novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of NOBODY’S GIRL.

After losing everything in the Blitz, Hilda Stone and her 14-year-old daughter Ellen are desperate for a miracle. But their world is shattered when a telegram informs them that Doug – their beloved husband and father – has been lost at sea. In the depths of despair, Hilda is one day approached by a strange woman with a message – and both she and Ellen are astounded when the prediction becomes a reality.

Years later, the teenaged Ellen makes a shocking mistake – but is rescued by the man who later becomes her husband, and the family finally find peace. But their joy is cut short when Ellen's baby daughter is killed in a tragic accident.

Blaming herself for the accident, Ellen remembers the woman's prediction all those years ago and searches desperately for proof of an afterlife.

Her search becomes an obsession and she reaches rock bottom – until she is given a sign. But will it provide the answers Ellen so desperately seeks?
