    About this ebook

    There comes a time in our lives when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly. Cancer sneaks in on silent feet, takes up residence, and clips our wings. We fight, we flutter, we do our best to just keep flying--and then we have to ask for help, from our friends, from our family, from our loved ones near and far.

    We’re asking for a gathering of angels...

    Annette DeMarino Swaim has been diagnosed with cancer. As her family and friends gather to support her, Angels are coming out of the woodwork. This collection of poems and short stories are dedicated to Annette and to her recovery. All proceeds from this book will go to the Annette Swaim Benefit Fund.
