Angels Always With Me is the memoir of Thom Barrett, his wife, Lynda, and their two sons. The author briefly sketches his youth up to becoming a buyer of TV and radio time. At twenty-eight, he met Lynda in that industry. They married and adopted a boy with health issues. Lynda became pregnant, losing a daughter in the sixth month. Pregnant again, their son was also premature. This time neonatal care saved his tiny body but resulted in ongoing physical handicaps. Lynda advocated for their boys' health: Ty with Reyes syndrome; Andy with shunt and tracheotomy surgeries, besides cerebral palsy. From time to time, an angel in the guise of a therapy worker, care giver, or stranger on an elevator encouraged them. This memoir is recommended by US Review of Books.
