Edward and the Bricklayer

For a man who thought love was lost forever, an unfathomable miracle is still to come.

Edward Stubbins is an orphan in post-war England. Shipped to Australia at age ten, he’s offered hope—then abandoned—again and again. A kind nun, a wealthy patron, a girl who promises forever—each walks away when he needs them the most.

By the time he’s grown, he’s sealed off his heart for good. When the end finally comes, it is quiet and bitter. No goodbyes. No peace.

But grace keeps its own strange clock. The emptiness Edward expected in death never comes. Instead, a luminous stranger offers him the chance to live again.

Edward’s new life is eerily similar to his first. Worse in some ways. Yet as it unfolds, something begins to stir: a flicker of hope, a glimpse of love, and the sense that someone—somewhere—is still on his side.

One More Life to Live is a historical romance with a spiritual twist—a deeply emotional journey through loss, longing, and the quiet power of redemption. Because there is always hope, if you only know where to look.
