Johnny Angel: A Novel

In her fifty-eighth bestselling novel, Danielle Steel tells the breathtaking story of a mother’s love and a son’s gift, of the tragedy that nearly destroyed a family...and the miracle that saved them. Johnny Angel portrays the tale of seventeen-year-old Johnny Peterson, who could light up a room with a word or a smile, fill his mother’s heart with pride, and inspire those around him. He was a star athlete and class valedictorian with a future filled with promise until a car accident on prom night took it all away in an instant. As Johnny’s family and high school sweetheart, Becky, struggle to piece together their shattered lives, no one is more devastated than Johnny’s mother, Alice, whose oldest son owned her heart from the day he was born.

Amid the heartache, something miraculous happens to the Peterson family that alters the course of their lives. When Alice is sent to the hospital with a sudden illness, she has a glorious vision in her dreams. Johnny appears before her, urging her to be strong for her splintered family. Seeing her lost boy is a miracle Alice finds hard to believe but is willing to embrace. In the weeks to come, Johnny appears in unlikely places, visible only to his nine-year-old brother, locked in a silent world, and his mother, who now needs her own guardian angel.

Through a season of hope and healing, Johnny walks by his mother’s side, leaving miracles in his wake and leading his family out of grief. Alice discovers that Johnny has returned not just to help those he loves but to uncover a purpose that will change them all forever. The story of loving and letting go, mixed blessings, and second chances, Johnny Angel is a celebration of life, hope, and forgiveness that will evoke laughter and tears, and encourage readers to hold their loved ones closer.
