Gabriel has a small dilemma. He loves the enthusiasm of
Shirley, Goodness and Mercy, three delightful but not quite
angelic angels with a penchant for creating, intentionally
or not, a little mischief wherever they went. Now, what
assignments could he give them that they could go and not
create minor havoc on earth? Three prayers are heard above
that needed to be answered and off the angels go doing what
they do best.
Lovely respectful Hannah, the joy of her parents, is finally
getting close to being married to a nice Jewish teacher when
she accidentally bumps into handsome lawyer at the
Thanksgiving parade. How could she enjoy the company of the
perfect stranger to the point of rethinking her choices for
life. Oi Vei! What is she to do?
How can the angels support the lovely young teacher, Brynn
Cassidy? She is striving to bring change to the lives of
inner city kids. How can they answer her prayer for
guidance in helping those who need all the help they can
get?
How to get Jenny home to Montana? Her parents and Trey want
to see her but she can't go back now that she has so
exaggerated her success in what is a dwindling singing
career. Will she be able to bring herself to tell them how
life in the big city is really turning out for her?
Loving the bright lights and potential of New York City as
much as Jenny from Montana, the three angels are thrilled
with their new missions. Will their little nudges of a
business card here or a car breakdown there work? Will it
all blow up in their concerned little faces? How will
Gabriel react?
I was thrilled to see Debbie Macomber's updated version of
the earthly adventures of Shirley, Goodness and Mercy back
in print in time for Christmas! I thought this book was a
hoot when it first came out in 1995 and fully enjoyed the
updated and revised version. TOUCHED BY ANGELS is just the
delightful read you need to curl up with to help relax
during the busy festive season or anytime for that matter.
We all have had our ups and downs and sometimes, things work
out by coincidence or by angelic interference. Who really
knows why things happen the way that they do!
Macomber's adorable trio of angels is back to bestow a batch
of miracles on a city that is always in need of them. New
York City during Christmas is a place where special wishes
can come true, even if the angels assigned to fill them are
the slightly dizzy trio of Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy.
Reissued to coincide with release of the latest sequel,
"Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy."
