and a little about Amy herself.
A. J. Cattapan (Amy) is an author, speaker, and middle school English teacher living in the Chicago area. Amy's published works include the young adult novel Angelhood, a story in Chicken Soup for the Soul: From Lemons to Lemonade.
Amy has also written short stories and articles in numerous magazines for teens and children, including Highlights and Hopscotch for Girls. She will also be featured in a recipe and corresponding story anthology due out this summer.
Seventeen-year-old, theater geek Nanette believes her life her life is headed toward stardom on Broadway. But when her dream theater
college rejects her and her best friend dies in a terrible accident, Nanette
decides the world would be better off without her. Unfortunately, the afterlife
offers something less than a heavenly situation. Trapped between alternating
periods of utter darkness and light, Nanette is stuck following a high school
freshman around. Soon, she learns she’s a guardian angel, and the only way she
can earn her wings is to keep her young charge, Vera, from committing the same
sin she did—taking her own life.
Unfortunately,
Nanette is missing more than just her wings. She has no tangible body or voice,
either. Frustrated by her inability to reach out to Vera and haunted by
memories of her old life, Nanette wants to give up, but then she sees what
happens when another Guardian at the high school turns his back on his charge.
The shock is enough to supercharge Nanette’s determination. If she’s going to
find peace in the afterlife, she’s going to have to discover what living is
really all about.
