Thirty-something Bradley Hunter just lost his job. Now he must decide whether or not he'll take responsibility for his special needs sister, Marie, upon the untimely death of their parents. He's drowning in gambling debt and can barely afford his New York City apartment, but one of the teachers at Marie's adult program will do whatever it takes to get Bradley to sign the guardianship papers.

À propos de l'auteur

I'm the youngest of three sisters, and this novella is dedicated to them. Larisa and Aunie may no longer live nearby, but they're never far from my thoughts, prayers, and they are always in my heart.
This story was based on a writing prompt from a podcast called The Dunesteef Audio Fiction Magazine. I had a vague idea about a story featuring a character with special needs--a character based on my sister, Aunie--and their writing prompt solidified what I wanted that story to become.
In seventeen days, I wrote the story live on my blog, Writing For the Love. With the novella completed, I composed one final post entitled, "Afterward: Inspiration for Little Angel Helper" at www.briaburton.blogspot.com/2014/08/afterward-inspiration-for-little-angel.html.
