Description

In the 1930s coal mining town of Galen, Pennsylvania, Darcy Willickers lives with her two sisters and her mother, Jewel; together, they own and operate the dilapidated Hospitality Inn—a failing hotel that accommodates a succession of non-paying misfits and wanderers, including a drunken poet, an AWOL sailor, and an itinerant hangman. With escalating costs of upkeep, a conservative town suspicious of their enterprise, and the persistent attentions of Aaron—the local minister’s son, who seems to have dark designs of his own—Darcy has challenges enough to sustain her. When the handsome and engaging Luca D’Angeli arrives with his father, fresh off the boat from Naples, Darcy and Luca find themselves drawn to one another. But they each harbor old secrets of murder, violence, and retribution, which lead to a tumultuous chain of events that will upend the lives of the Willickers and the fate of the Hospitality Inn forever.

Praise for Angels Unaware

“Gifted new author Lisa DeAngelis captivates with a highly unusual tale.  Her distinct voice has inviting powers reminiscent of Carson McCullers in The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter and Harper Lee in To Kill A Mockingbird.”

-Brent Monahan, author of The Bell Witch/An American Horror Story and The Jekyll Island Club

“Lisa DeAngelis infuses a poor mining town in the thirties into the very wallpaper of this story of Darcy Willickers as she recants the intricacies of her life in a lyrical voice showing the strength that only the downtrodden can muster.  Recommended.”

-Hope Clark, author of The Carolina Slade Mysteries and The Edisto Island Mysteries

“A treat from beginning to end.  Lisa DeAngelis has created unforgettable characters and a story that grips you from the first page.  I was drawn into the world of the Hospitality Inn.  Darcy and Luca were so vivid, they almost jumped off the page.  I highly recommend this book.  You can’t put it down.”

-John McDonnell, author of The Playwright’s Bridge

“Lisa DeAngelis has composed a real page-turner.  The story draws you in and doesn’t let go.”

-Mark Allen, Times Publishing Newspapers, Inc.

“This tale rolls fast and furious off the tongue of Darcy Willickers, flavored with sauce and cynicism.  Imagine Cinderella smashing the glass slipper and telling Prince Charming to go pound sand and you’ll appreciate a character too grounded in depression-era realities to ever see herself as a victim.”

-Dave Roth, author of The Femme Fatale Hypothesis
