What a wonderful story! I'm not fond of fantasy or supernatural plot devices. However, that is before reading this book by Catherine Anderson. Gabe Valance, a traveling gunslinger, is killed Christmas morning in the small town of Random. The angels who meet Gabe tell him that he has not done a good job of his time on Earth.

They offer him an opportunity to return to Random and try to save one of three persons currently residing there. Gabe takes on the problem of Nan, who supposedly killed her suitor and ran away with her sister from New York City. They are hiding in Random as mother and daughter. They are hiding from the law and Nan and Laney's father, who 'gave' Nan to the suitor.

Gabe has only 30 days to turn Nan's life around. This is a fascinating story of how Gabe strips Nan of her defenses and teaches her that there is more to life than the narrow existence she is living.
