Angels in the Architecture

by Annie M. Ballard

Overview

Emelie and Liam had a happy life with their five-year-old son Ben, until a car accident changes everything,
sending Emelie into a spiral of declining mental health. Struggling with a deep desire for another baby,
pretending she is fine, Emelie desperately tries to hold things together until her search for a baby
makes her do the unthinkable.

Liam, determined to keep things "normal," barely notices his own struggle, until he makes a decision that
shatters Emelie's newly reordered world and separates their family. Out of sync, each must grapple with
the meaning of family and their deepest desires. Picking their way through the detritus of trauma, each one struggles to make sense of their experiences and try to find a way back together.

Heartwarming and full of emotion, this story of a couple working through crisis will keep you rooting for
them and the power of family love.

Editorial Reviews

Ballard's latest is an engrossing tale, charting the intricacies of familial bonds, discontent, and desire.
Emelie is content in her life, living with her husband Liam and their five-year-old son Ben, until a car accident
changes everything...Ballard's writing is keen and observant... (and) beautifully portrays
complex emotions, peeling back layers of denial and a self-destructive streak to reveal the love that Emelie
feels for Liam and Ben and the reader feels invested.
