not met with the same enthusiasm by Molly as is it by her
husband and girls. Matt decides to bring in an old

As Reverend Ben is helping Carl, the church sexton, move
some boxes because of Carl's hand injury, they discover a
crate in the basement that is not familiar to either of
them. After opening the crate, a beautiful carved wooden
angel is revealed that they decide to put in the sanctuary
for Christmas decoration. When Carl spreads the rumor that
his infected, injured hand was healed overnight after
touching the angel, the "miracle" spreads and ailing people
come from all over to leave their little bits of paper with
prayers on them at the base of the angel. Ben blesses the
requests with respect, but can neither deny or agree with
the miracles of the statue that are materializing in
abundance from people claiming to be "healed." Ben believes
the miracle is a product of the power and faith in God.
Each family involves other members of this beautiful fairy-
tale town. The characters are your normal everyday
neighbors with their good and bad sides. You soon learn to
love Cape Light and its residents. The love and closeness
the statue brings to the town renews the spirit and belief
in miracles and in people themselves. Several simultaneous
plots relate a warm, fuzzy feeling full of love and new
beliefs with the reader. This is a must-read novel written
by two very talented authors.
Christmas comes again to the little town of Cape Light.

business - so why is she unhappy? Just as her life is
starting to take off, she's pregnant again - and she's
going to have to confront her previous notions of what she
truly needs to be happy, in order to recapture that elusive
Christmas spirit...
Meanwhile, Miranda Potter
has found an injured man who's lost his memory. As she
nurses him back to health an unexpected attraction
develops. Can Miranda let uncertainty back into her life
just as things finally start making sense?
And
when Reverend Ben finds a wooden angel statue, word
spreads that it holds miraculous powers, turning his
peaceful church into a tourist attraction - and making it
seem more of a burden then a blessing. But what he
discovers is that he's given the people of Cape Light the
best Christmas gift of all.
