Author Description

Four years ago, Frankie Rios walked away from her best friend and big sister, Iris. To Frankie, Iris died the day that she last rejected Frankie's attempts at getting Iris alcohol and drug treatment. Rather than accept grief for her beloved sister's loss, Frankie turned to her music. A renowned cellist, Frankie has managed to ignore the pain and suffering of losing the person she loved most in this world. With Iris out of her mind and out of her life, Frankie was able to move on...or so she thought. Until Iris really died. Topher went to war in 2001 only to return two years later damaged and broken. Unable to reconcile the war vet with the boy he used to be, Topher gave up on life. When Iris Rios, his long-lost childhood best friend, dies from liver failure at thirty-two years-old, Topher is forced to confront his past. He must decide whether he deserves to heal. He must decide whether he will take that first step and then take another until he can recover what he lost: himself. Weeping Angels is a story of grief carried and grief ignored. It's about learning to love and moving on. Mourning someone once is hard enough, but mourning someone twice is unimaginably harder.
