A character-driven YA story about dignity, second chances, and choosing who you become.
Katie Santos is a respected student, a debater, and someone who navigates the world from a wheelchair in a school culture that often underestimates her. When a brief but intense connection suddenly entangles her with Brandon—her best friend’s boyfriend—Katie is left not with clarity, but with questions about worth, timing, and how much of yourself you risk when something matters deeply.
In the background, she unexpectedly crosses paths with Brock, once a bully from a rival school who is now struggling to change the course of his own future.
As school rivalries, friendships, and expectations collide, Katie learns that heartbreak doesn’t require long history to leave lasting marks. Sometimes it arrives quickly, overwhelms you, and then disappears—leaving you to decide how you will stand afterward.
But Heart of an Angel is not a story about replacing one love with another. It is about choosing dignity over bitterness, growth over resentment, and honesty over easy resolution.
Set against debate competitions, complicated friendships, and moments of moral choice, Heart of an Angel explores how people move forward—not by winning everything, but by owning what they lose.
Heart of an Angel is a character-driven YA story about dignity, loss, second chances, and choosing who you become.
