Agnes Hennessey is a librarian in the small and sleepy town of Old Tappan, New Jersey. She has three loves: her dog, her vintage restored Scout, and painting in her home studio. The survivor of several traumatic events, she has evolved into a strong, humble, (and a bit reclusive) young woman who prefers the company of her four-legged friend to her human counterparts. The quiet town is turned upside-down when Agnes' neighbor mysteriously disappears, leaving behind a young daughter, a suspect husband, and many questions. Foreordained, Agnes encounters a spiritual messenger who divulges a transformative secret, and she learns that she is 'divinely obligated' to help solve the case of her missing neighbor. Although the investigation does not produce much evidence, it reveals a potential new love in Agnes' life. Tyler Clair does not know it, but his own destiny has led him to cross paths with Agnes, and he comes to realize that she is so much more than just 'the girl next door'. was born from the comforting notion that angels are all around us, helping us, guiding us, and showing us the way, disguised as fate and keeping us moving along our destined paths. It was my experience, as is also my hope that this intimately powerful journey allows you, the reader, to find spiritual solace, and to deliberate the love, pleasure, and beauty we encounter in our connections during our time on this earth – and whatever may come next. . .
