Where Angels Go

Shirley, Goodness and Mercy are angels who work on Earth, and they are back for another Christmas. Their boss, the Archangel Gabriel, sets the rules, and he already expects them to bend them. The three are happiest answering prayer requests sent up to Heaven.

This year each angel takes a separate assignment. Mercy is sent to an elderly man who needs peace of mind, and he turns up an answer to his prayer he did not expect. Goodness is given the love life of a young woman who is afraid to risk commitment a second time.

Shirley has the third case: a little boy with one great Christmas wish, and she is the one to grant it. The angels go wherever they are needed, and their methods often land them in trouble.

This is a light, warm holiday fantasy in the form of three linked assignments. The tone is gentle and humorous, with an angelic cast and a Christmas setting. Readers can expect trouble that resolves kindly rather than a dark turn, since things tend to work out for the best.
