Here’s the set-up:
September 25, 2012 Ted Neill picked up a knife to cut his wrists open and kill himself. Post hospitalization and treatment for major depressive disorder, he wrote Two Years of Wonder, an autobiographical novel based on his journey towards recovery. In it, he examines the experience that left him with such despair: living and working for two years at an orphanage for children with HIV/AIDS in Nairobi, Kenya.
Neill interweaves his story with the experiences of Oliver, Miriam, Ivy, Harmony, Tabitha, Sofie, Nea, and other children, exploring their own paths of trauma, survival, and resilience. In prose that is by turns poetic, confessional, and brutal, Neill with the children he comes alongside, strive to put the pieces of their fractured lives back together as they search for meaning and connection, each trying to reclaim their humanity and capacity to love in the face of inexplicable suffering and loss.
Two Years of Wonder has been compared to Bryan Stevenson’s Just Mercy, Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat Pray Love, and Brene Brown’s Daring Greatly and Dare to Lead. Fan’s of these authors, their vulnerability, their depth, and their focus on social issues will find that Neill’s story and the story of the children he knew in Kenya, resonates.
About the Author: In addition to his time living in Kenya, Ted Neill has worked for CARE and World Vision International in the fields of health, education, and child development. He has written for The Washington Post and published multiple novels. His share of proceeds from Two Years of Wonder are donated to the children featured in its pages as well as other Kenyan based organizations that support vulnerable children and youth.

When guardian angels started texting Em and asking for help through the Angel App it pushed her way out of her comfort zone. Best friends RJ and Dee helped her to accept her gift and protect it from nosy tech geek Kai. Things had just started to feel normal until another app exploded onto the tech scene. This one claimed to give its users a heavenly connection, too, and even predicted miracles.
Is this new app really just like the Angel App? If an algorithm can predict a miracle, then does anyone need angels?
