The story begins with three Prayer Ambassador angels - Mercy, Goodness and Shirley - taking Will, their apprentice angel, on an unauthorised trip to earth, to Time Square in New York, on New Year's Eve. Only God can hear peoples prayers. He talks them over with Gabriel who then assigns requests to the Prayer Ambassadors. Their role is to help people to realise what they can do for themselves but they are not allowed to interfere with peoples lives. People must be able to make their own decisions. Whilst on this unauthorised trip, Will does interfere and causes Lucie Ferrara and Aren Fairchild to meet.
Lucie and Aren get along really well but then fate intervenes and they loose contact with each other. Moving on almost a year, to the time when they should really have first met, Gabriel sends his troop of angels back to earth to watch over Lucie and Aren and to ensure that nothing goes wrong and a prayer send to God months before by Lucie's mum Wendy, can be answered.
Lucie and Aren are initially really pleased to meet up with each other again but unfortunately the angels can not help but interfere again and they make matters worse. They then need to try to right the situation to get Lucie and Aren back on the track of their original fate.
Whilst reading chapter one I was not really sure if I would enjoy this book as it seems strange to read a story from an angel's point of view. By chapter two when Lucie and Aren have met, and our feet are firmly back on the ground, I got into the story and enjoyed the rest of the book.
According to the information provided by the author, this is one of a series of books written about the three angels Mercy, Goodness and Shirley, but is the first to introduce their apprentice Will. The only other book by Debbie Macomber I have read is 'Falling for Christmas'. I have 'On a Snowy Night' and 'A Mother's Gift' on my bookshelf. I don't think any of these appear to involve angels.
There are five recipes at the end of the book.
