Announcement About Angel Donor

This pandemic hit everyone pretty hard over these past few months. People are getting sick, losing jobs, and businesses are closing. The writing industry is no different, especially for smaller publishers. 

My book, Angel Donor, was created to help other children going through the transplant process. It is more than just a book to entertain. It is a book to provide help, connection, and comfort to those children going through the same thing. So it is with this in mind that I am sad to report that the pandemic made it too hard for my publisher to sustain their business, and they had to shut down. 


However, since I feel that this book is important and needed, I've decided to republish it now that I have the right reverted back. Illustrator Samantha Bell has granted permission for continued use of the illustrations. While I am sad to part ways with Guardian Angel Publishing, I'm happy and relieved to be able to create a second edition of this book. 

One of my plans is to create a hardcover edition, which I believe has always been missing. I'd also plan to do another Kickstarter or Indiegogo campaign to help make this happen. More updates will come as plans develop. 

For now, know that this is not the end of Angel Donor, but a new beginning.

New Children’s Book Geared toward Children in Need of Organ Transplants


July 1, 2012

On June 6, 2012 children’s author Jennifer Gladen’s third children’s book was released from Guardian Angel Publishing. The new book, Angel Donor, is a story about a child in need of a liver transplant and the day she gets “The Call”.  As taken from the cover: Olivia never asked to have a disease like Biliary Atresia. It made her liver sick and only a transplant will make her better. After waiting several months and close to losing hope, she gets the call she’s been waiting for. The journey of her life is about to begin. The book is complete with a glossary and a list of resources for dealing with transplantation.

When asked what made her write this book, Ms. Gladen said, “It was inspired by my daughter. When she went through her transplant and the long wait beforehand, I was looking for something to help her understand what was happening that spoke to her on her own level. It’s a book that needed to be written.”

In addition to Angel Donor, Jennifer Gladen has two other books out titled A Star in the Night and Teresa’s Shadow. She is also the founder and Editor-in-Chief of the online magazine My Light Magazine.
