Airlis Brian L Willis

It is 2011 as eighteen-year-old David Thorn nurtures big dreams of fame and college football. But when he breaks his arm the first week of his senior year, his life and his dreams explode into a million pieces.

Now forced to face his new reality, David sits on the bank of a hidden lake on his grandpa's ranch and contemplates an empty future. Desperate for hope, David opens his heart to the God he has mostly avoided, but the heavens are silent-or so he thinks. As dark thoughts fill his mind, they suddenly begin appearing as words inside a semi-transparent stone lying by the water. Bewildered and shocked, he shamefully reads his thoughts. But as his own thoughts fade from the smooth rock, someone else's takes their place. In a miraculous way, David soon realizes that the living stone called an Airlis has linked him with Elli, a young angel in another time and dimension fighting battles of her own. As they courageously summon the courage to face their obstacles together, neither realizes how much their friendship will forever change their lives.

Airlis is a tale of love, faith, friendship, and family as a teenager and an angel are connected through a living stone that inspires each of them to reach for something more.
