Angelhood
A J Cattapan

Themes: trust, hope, depression, teen suicide. Note: Angelhood is a speculative fiction with fantasy elements that are not to be considered a theological presentation of angels, just as one would not look for Catholic teaching in It's a Wonderful Life. Unlike the contemporary TV series "13 Reasons Why," this story shows the ugliness of suicide and promotes consideration of the consequences of actions.
