Accidentally killed on Christmas Eve, Cathy and Don Angel are given a chance to achieve angelhood by performing three miracles each before Christmas Day. Their success is predictable, although the end result may be a surprise. Pozzessere (Slow Burn, Mira, 1994) gives a unique portrayal of the heavenly realm featuring a yuppie angel Gabriel. The realistic, punchy dialog is a plus for this short contemporary, with occasional flashes of humor, healthy doses of sentimentality, and tidy solutions to a series of standard holiday crises (e.g., a homeless woman, a family of unwanted children, a drunken father, a suicidal, blind teacher). Despite this slim hardcover's price, fans will most likely request it. Pozzessere also writes historicals as Heather Graham and Shannon Drake.
