Angel In The Breeze

Angel in the Breeze by Brian Rudolph

The wind chimes, a gift from Liam's mother, jingled softly in the breeze. They were a constant in a life that was anything but. His father had left before Liam was born. His mother, Serena, was a celebrated singer, her voice a wave of emotion that drew crowds wherever she went. Liam, a bright-eyed boy with a mop of unruly brown hair, was her constant companion.



At just five years old, he'd witnessed her rise on stages, encountering an array of characters, from devoted stagehands to musicians and soul-searching fans, all drawn in by his mother's ethereal voice. When tragedy strikes and he loses his mother suddenly, Liam transforms his grief into gratitude, realizing that even though they navigated different cities and faced different challenges, kindness and love would always connect them. As he learns to navigate life without her, he finds in the wind chimes a melody. And in every note played, he knows Serena's spirit resonates a song that will never truly end.
