An Unseen Angel

A Mother’s Story of Healing and Hope After Sandy Hook

By: Alissa Parker

Narrated by: Alissa Parker

When Alissa Parker lost her daughter Emilie in the Sandy Hook Elementary mass shooting, she started a life-changing journey to answer soul-searching questions about faith, hope, and healing. As she sought for the peace and comfort that could help mend her broken heart, she learned, step by step, how to open her heart to God's grace and will.

One step brought her face to face with the shooter's father, where in a pivotal and poignant meeting, she was given an opportunity to forgive. Another step brought her into the sheltering compassion of her community as family, friends, and even strangers reached out to buoy her up with their shared faith. And several miraculous manifestations of Emilie's continued presence and influence lifted her heart and will validate the faith of every Christian.

The story of Alissa and Emilie reminds us that the bonds of love continue beyond this life and that despite tragedy and heartache, we can find strength in our family and our faith.

Touching Story

I really enjoyed this book. To find peace after such a horrific event isn't easy... I learned from their struggle to find their happily ever after.

Great Book-Inspirational

I loved this book and that this amazing mother shared her challenges and struggles through her trials with all of us. It helped deepen my appreciation for others and for what’s on the other side. This also helps me to feel strength through my own trials :)

Amazing Story

To hear the story told by the author is touching. The meeting with Peter Lanza show the amazing character of the family.

An emotional peace

I loved this story! I couldn't stop reading. Alissa's voice is very soothing. The emotion and love overflows! I felt like I also healed from similar personal circumstances that I've faced. I believe death is hard but losing a loved one to murder is harder. Thank you for sharing your journey!

Inspirational and touching read.

A beautiful, touching and inspiring book. The faith and inspiration of this family will forever touch me in my walk with God. Thank you for sharing your story.

Best book of love and healing I have ever read

What a tender and emotional book. I cried all the way through it. It makes me want to be a better person.

Must read

Listening to this book has changed me. I have teenage daughters that I am going to have listen to this as well. Alissa and her family have inspired me to be more faithful, to serve more and most importantly to love more. You can't describe the feelings you have listening to this. You just have to hear every word for yourself. Beyond touching.

So heartfelt and tender

I loved listening to Alissa’s story about her sweet daughter Emilie. As a fellow mother of an angel, I was touched by Alissa’s experiences with her daughter after she passed. Beautiful story of strength and forgiveness.

Heavenly and very Mortal too

Devastating story. Love the voice of narrator. This story impacted many yet your portrayal is raw and inspiring despite being centered in tragedy. Thanks. Love Emily too yet never knew this precious, sweet young lady.
