Angels Watching Over Me: The Memoirs of Gilles Goddard (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781988447629)

Gilles Goddard, a long-haul trucker and former marine, has persevered through life with a smile on his face and a story to tell. His extraordinary faith has produced a generosity and kindness of heart not often seen, even in the midst of great personal tragedy. He survived five heart attacks, almost died while serving in the navy, and has experienced more than his share of heartbreak. One son committed suicide due to drug use; another was hit by a car when he was only six years old and died. But according to Gilles, "We don't have to live there, even if we never forget." Fifty years on the highways of North America taught him many lessons about life, love, and the pursuit of happiness - all recounted in a delightful, yet candid narrative sure to touch your heart.

The memoirs of Gilles Goddard began as one newspaper article in the local paper, but quickly morphed into a retelling of many personal stories, some humorous and some tragic. A moral thread runs through each story, as Gilles recounts triumphs and tragedies alike with the belief that God is in control.
