Three new and very mischievous angels, Mercy, Goodness and Shirley, are given assignments on earth from the Archangel Gabriel. Each has merely three weeks to perform their miracles with a deadline of Christmas. All three assigned subjects have lessons to learn before they can be granted their ultimate wish with the aid of their angel.

Leah Lundberg, a maternity nurse at Providence Hospital, and her husband Andrew long for a child of their own. Leah herself is blocking the answer to her prayers and must accept the inability to bear a child. With the wish of a husband, Monica Fischer, a sanctimonious prude and daughter of the pastor of a church, has strict expectations of everyone and does not see the true Godly side of life until she meets the most unlikely man to fall in love with. Last but not least is Timmy Potter who desperately desires a father. His mother, Jody, is unable to let go of the past where she lost the husband and love of her life when Timmy was but a baby. After missing 3 years, Jody secured a divorce for monetary reasons. His body was found 5 years later and identified. With undying love for her dead husband, Jody cannot move forward without the intervention of her "angel's" miracle.

What a beautiful story of faith and true love at the most wonderful time of the year! Each woman has her unique sorrow to bear but with the help of their own angel, life becomes wonderful again. The angels themselves are a real hoot with their individual little antics. This is such a cute story it will stick in my mind for a long time and give me chuckles and warm feelings with each thought. A do not miss book! Debbie Macomber has again turned out a beautiful winner!
