When a mysterious and beautiful (and, to readers, instantly sinister) angel appears to Steve in his dreams and offers to “fix” his little brother, he begins to think that his nightly prayers have been answered. Steve also worries about his parents, who are understandably struggling to cope with the thought of losing their youngest family member. Most of all, he worries about his newborn baby brother, who is too small and weak to fight the devastating illness he is stricken with.

It is a pitch-perfect examination of what poorly treated, or entirely untreated, anxiety and trauma can do to a person, with a heaping helping of the uncanny and supernatural thrown into the mix.
