Publisher's Summary

Dive into the heartwarming world of "Balm of Angels," where an age-old Irish proverb comes to life: "Forgiveness is the balm of angels."

Meet Oliver Courtland, a playwright, and his son Rye, a director, whose lives have been entwined in a tale of separation and redemption. Set against the backdrop of the vibrant Upper West Side of Manhattan, their story is a journey of love, fractured bonds, and the incredible power of second chances.

For years, Oliver and Rye have shared a home, their lives interwoven in the aftermath of Lydia Hammond's departure. Lydia, once a beloved actress and Rye's mother, left them behind to return to her homeland, England. The twists of fate led her to marry Alvin Spiegel, Oliver's former writing partner, adding layers of complexity to their relationship. Now, a fresh opportunity emerges for Oliver and Rye: collaborating on a brand-new Broadway production. Yet, a daunting challenge looms casting the female lead. Neither dares utter the name that lingers unspoken between them for 45 years Lydia.

Journey through time and continents in this poignant narrative that balances laughter and tears. "Balm of Angels" invites you to witness the ebb and flow of relationships, the yearning for reconciliation, and the unexpected hurdles love can present. As you're drawn into their world, you'll explore the threads that tie people together, no matter how strained or distant they may become.
