Synopsis
How do you get there, darlin’? Well, na’, you start by taking Brighten Place. Follow that road all the way down to Marigny Street. After you travel a little distance you’ll come to an old Red Dirt Road, and that road will take you even further, to Lotus Blossom Lane, but you’ve already been that way. Na’ you’re exactly where you should be, darlin’. You’ve arrived at The Crossroads of your life.
Gabriel Roberts is the most famous movie star in the world. He has everything one man could ever want. He has everything except the one thing he feels will fulfill his purpose and complete his life.
Raphael Rose is dying of pneumonia. As he waits on the waning clock of mortality to chime, he has a story to share. One of star-crossed lovers he has never lost hope for.
Two doors down, Madam Catalina has her own story – a shocking past, a love of a lifetime left undone.
Locked behind the doors of Charity Hospital during Hurricane Evangeline, the tangling of souls has unraveled and left each of them at the crossroads of their life. And in the end, whichever road they choose will lead them home.

Donna's Thoughts

“Michael’s fists are like twenty-five pound bowling balls swinging at forty miles per hour.”

I can’t even begin to describe what author Annie Rose Welch does to me through her stories. I know it’s a good book when I have to stop my emotional reaction to remind myself that they are fictional characters. Through the four books of Ms. Welch’s, I have come to see these characters as family and my heart breaks for their losses and soars for their joys. I weep when they weep, laugh when they laugh and smile when they smile.

“The reels of my life play in black and white, just like an old movie on the big screen. It’s not perfect. The screen seems to tear in some spots, and sometimes it fades away, but it always resumes stronger and even better than before.”

The Crossroads is a beautiful continuation of the Saving Angel’s series. It travels to the past and gives a bigger picture of the intricate web that has become the lives of Gabriel, Michael, Layla, Eva and the many, many other important people who make up these stories. Seeing Madam as a young girl and reading her life’s story was incredible. I can’t say enough about this book. I was so engrossed in the story that I couldn’t put it down and couldn’t wait to see what would happen next, but at the same time I didn’t want it to end. I’m a looking forward to and dreading the next book since it is the last in the series. I give this book five gold stars. Great job Annie.

“Swell. Just swell.”

Author Bio

Born and raised in New Orleans, Annie has a habit of shortening her words and telling long stories. She speaks with a southern flair and cooks with it too. At the tender age of twenty- one, she hitched up her wagons (took her first plane ride) and moved out west to the big shake (California). Her writing career began one sleepless night when she imagined a gorgeous woman and a man with maniacal hair floating above her like lightening bugs falling from the sky. Curious about them, their story, and why they were floating around in her head, she sat down and penned (typed) her first novel, Marigny Street. A dream come true for her, she hasn't stopped writing since. She loves a damn good love story, always has, no matter what the genre. She is particularly moved by imperfect love that in its own unique way is perfect, the notion of love at first sight, soul mates, and things that are generally out of the norm.

When she's not writing she enjoys dabbling in photography and finding new, inspirational music to add to her collection. She currently (still) resides in the big shake (although her southern roots are calling her home) with her husband, daughter, and their two peculiar dogs, Boudreaux and Tabasco (who, call her crazy, bark with an accent).
