Bobby Sand is a surveyor studying part-time to be a civil engineer. He is also Staff Sergeant Sand, a US Army Reservist. By the Fall of 2003, post 9/11 events lead to his unit's deployment to Iraq. Bobby leaves behind his gorgeous fiancée, Adele, and her sister, Erica, who has sacrificed career ambition and social life to care for their invalid mother and keep the family together.
In Iraq, Bobby must deal with the horrors and cruelty of war. At home, Adele meets an even greater danger.
When betrayal and tragedy collide, lives are torn apart and new bonds awaken beyond the veil of mortality. In a realm where Angels whisper and shadows gather, love defies time itself but must face a darkness that threatens to consume it.
Gregory T. Glading's tenth novel is a hauntingly beautiful romance that links reality and fantasy through devotion, betrayal, and the courage to ascend to the mystery at the top of the stairs.
