Prayer Ambassadors Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy are back
this holiday season, along with their newest protege Will.
It's New Year's Eve, and Lucie Ferrara and Aren Fairchild
exchange a kiss in Times Square due to a little unsolicited
help from Will. Immediately sparks fly and the couple spends
the rest of their night getting to know each other. Rather
than exchanging numbers, the two agree to meet seven days
later at the top of the Empire State building. Sadly, Lucie
never shows up, leaving Aren wondering where he went wrong.
Despite Lucie and Aren having already met rather than
according to God's timetable, the angels feel confident they
can get them back on track. As Lucie devotes her time making
her restaurant Heavenly Delights a huge success, Aren is
busying establishing himself as the anonymous food critic at
the New York Gazette. When Aren's assignment brings him to
Lucie's doorstep, the angels interfere once again in hopes
of reigniting the couple's budding romance. Yet due to
Lucie's demanding schedule that night, the two never meet.
Unbeknownst to Aren, he writes a less than favorable review.
By doing so, he inadvertently threatens to ruin Lucie's
culinary career. The angels are in big trouble with their
boss Gabriel when he finds out about their interference. So,
a return visit to Heavenly Delights is in order to rectify
Aren's review and allow the pair to finally meet again. As
their relationship develops, Aren fears their future is in
jeopardy when Lucie discovers his true identity. With strict
orders from above, the angels must let go and allow the pair
to put their faith in God.
ANGELS AT THE TABLE is a delightful Christmas story by the
prolific New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber.
As her readers have come to expect, this heartwarming
romance is a quick, joyful read with charming characters and
tender moments. Despite being a somewhat predictable plot,
the story is just right for a few hours of literary pleasure
nestled in a cozy blanket while enjoying the warmth of a
crackling fire on a cold winter night.
In this joyous and whimsical holiday novel, Debbie Macomber
rings in the season with the return of Shirley, Goodness,
and Mercy, delivering laughs, love, and a charming dose of
angelic intervention.
Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy know that an angel’s work is
never done, especially during a time as wondrous as New
Year’s Eve. With an apprentice angel, Will, under their
wings, they descend upon Times Square in New York City eager
to join in the festivities. And when Will spies two lonely
strangers in the crowd, he decides midnight is the perfect
time to lend a heavenly helping hand.
Lucie Farrara and Aren Fairchild meet after bumping into
each other—seemingly by accident—in Times Square on New
Year’s Eve. They immediately hit it off and find they have a
lot in common: Lucie is a burgeoning chef and Aren is a
respected food critic. But just as quickly as they’re
brought together, another twist of fate tears them apart,
leaving Lucie and Aren with no way to reconnect.
A year later, Lucie is the chef of an acclaimed new
restaurant and Aren is a successful columnist for a major
New York newspaper. For all the time that’s passed, the two
have not forgotten their one serendipitous evening—and
neither have Shirley, Goodness, Mercy, and Will. To reunite
the young couple, the angels cook up a brilliant plan: mix
true love, a second chance, and a generous sprinkle of
mischief to create an unforgettable Christmas miracle.
