Book description
Kevin Skelton watched helplessly as a bomb ripped apart the life he
knew. It was 15 August 1998, and the place was Omagh, in Northern
Ireland. Kevinâ s wife Mena was one of the 29 people killed that day,
and his daughter Shauna was horrifically injured. Kevin had lost the
love of his life. He sank into the depths of despair after the bomb. At
a time when his family needed him most, he turned to drink and
self-loathing, often wishing he could have taken Menaâ s place that
day. More than once, he held a loaded shotgun to his mouth, but he could
never go through with it. Mena was the angel who saved him. Before she
died, she and Kevin had been bringing a young girl, Andreea, from a
Romanian orphanage, for holidays to their home. In memory of Mena, Kevin
decided to adopt Andreea, but on his first trip to Romania to start
proceedings, he was shocked to discover that her mother, Maria, was
still alive. In the most unlikely of circumstances, a love blossomed
between them, convincing Kevin that Mena had sent Andreea and Maria to
him so that he could find happiness again. He believes Mena has been a
constant presence in the familyâ s lives since her death, watching over
them and protecting them. Sent by an Angel is a true story of love
rising from the ashes of tragedy, a romance that reaches beyond the
boundaries of this world.
