Touched by Angels by Debbie Macomber
New York City is always in need of miracles . . .

And this Christmas is no exception. Thank heavens the divinely inspired, if somewhat ditsy, angelic trio—Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy—is available to answer three heartfelt prayers this sacred holiday season . . . and to impart important lessons along the way. And Goodness knows (as do Mercy and Shirley) that the three lonely women to whom they’ve been assigned have a lot to learn:

A dedicated inner-city school teacher, Brynn needs to teach her troubled students how to dream . . .

Shy and dutiful Hannah must learn to follow her own heart . . .

And frustrated small-town-girl-turned- Broadway-wannabe Jenny needs to discover that home is where love truly lies.

It’s time for the angels to shine . . . and to prove once again that when you wish upon a star, you get much more than just a pretty song!

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS: Top Pick

The angels, Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy, have people on Earth with problems.  The archangel Gabriel has assigned them the tasks of helping in three women’s lives. Bryn Cassidy has taken on a teacher’s job at Manhattan High School in the bad part of New York City, with high hopes of making a difference.  Hannah Morganstern is sort of forced to get herself engaged to someone she doesn’t love. Jenny Lancaster from Custer, Montana, has come to the city to find a job singing or dancing on Broadway.  All three are having big problems.  Can the three angels help them solve them?

TOUCHED BY ANGELS is a story of three wonderful, humorous, energetic angels that will touch the lives of three women with big problems.  I am sure in all our lives we wish there was an angel to help us out at one time or another. The plot thickens as I read along with these three struggling women, as author Debbie Macomber works her magic to make the pages turn repeatedly. I laughed in parts, cried in parts, and was left at the end smiling and satisfied.

Ms. Macomber is well known for her wonderful, wholesome, romantic tales.  She’s the best!  Not only would I recommend anything Ms. Macomber writes, but TOUCHED BY ANGELS is a must read!
