Andy Sommerville seems no different than others in his rural
Virginia community, but what sets him apart is that his best
friend is an angel. The angel is God's answer to a childhood
prayer Andy offered to a twinkling star that his deceased
mother once called "the door to heaven." The first angelic
proclamation instructs Andy to find the wooden keepsake box
in his grandparents' attic. Over the years, he directs Andy
to fill it with apparently meaningless objects from twelve
people with who Andy randomly crosses paths. Andy's world is
turned upside down when a brutal attack leaves Andy burned
and the boy he loved as a son dead. At this crucial
juncture, the angel abandons him to loneliness and pain. All
that remains is the wooden box Andy has always kept safe,
and a new angel, who will use its contents to reveal truth
to him as a result, he discovers the defining truth of his
life, new hope in the community he loves, and greater trust
in the God who sustains him.The story is told from Andy's
hospital bed, where he awakes feeling God has abandoned him.
Without being preachy or saccharine, the author brings the
small town to life and reveals a spiritual secret--the
presence of angels--that helps a wounded man discover the
defining truth of his life, place new hope in the community
he loves, and trust totally in the God who sustains him.
