Explora Books Ltd. will present Patricia L. Blake’s memoir ‘Touched by the Hand of God: In the City of Angels SEND ME’ at Frankfurter Buchmesse, Hall 5.1 D59, October 15–19, 2025. The presentation highlights a testimony of life-changing miracles, faith, guardian angels, and the determination to overcome adversity. Based on thirty-three years with the Los Angeles Police Department, the memoir is dedicated to military, law enforcement, fire, and medical first responders.
Blake’s narrative provides an unvarnished view of the emotional landscape of police work, portraying deep bonds forged in the line of duty and the human realities of public service. Episodic accounts combine vivid intervention scenes with quieter moments of care, producing a textured portrait of duty under pressure. The memoir foregrounds the relationship between operational demands and personal conviction, showing how frontline experiences shape both professional identity and spiritual reflection.
Structured to engage both general readers and professionals, the work balances dramatic storytelling with contemplative passages. The narrative culminates in a closing section themed SEND ME, inspired by Isaiah 6:8, which frames the author’s experiences within a broader call to service. A new dedication honors the legacy of a cherished partner. The final prose forms an unexpected tapestry of emotion designed to resonate with diverse audiences.
Early reader responses on retail platforms emphasize the book’s consoling effect for those bereaved by service-related loss and praise its integration of faith and courage. Critics and readers note that the memoir offers both raw frontline detail and reflective insight, prompting consideration of sacrifice, resilience, and communal memory. Reviewers draw parallels to other service narratives while recognizing Blake’s distinctive vantage point and candid narrative voice.
