The stranger who realizes what is happening to Jake and takes care of him is Eli, someone who Jake soon starts to regard as his “guardian angel”. Our connection to this character is immediate. Vand makes us feel every terrifying moment for Jake and we hurt for him. Jake’s PTSD is triggered by a car crash in front of his toy store. Its characters have dimension, their pasts and its angst is believable as is its accompanying pain. Its a story that by all accounts should be much larger than its 36 pages because it feels like a novel. Geneva Vand has written a heartwarming story of pain and loss turned into recovery and love at holidays. For Jake, it could be the first step toward a life free from fear and loneliness. Eli is no stranger to panic attacks and PTSD, and he’s happy to help Jake get home-where the weather forces him to remain for the night. When he returns to the present, Jake is on the ground, being watched over by a guardian angel in the form of a kind man named Eli. Suddenly, he is in the midst of another winter storm-and another accident, one that not everyone walked away from.
One snowy evening, a car wreck in front of his toy store triggers terrible memories for Jake.
