Publisher Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this joyous and whimsical holiday novel, Debbie Macomber rings in the season with the return of Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy, delivering laughs, love, and a charming dose of angelic intervention. Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy know that an angel’s work is never done, especially during a time as wondrous as New Year’s Eve. With an apprentice angel, Will, under their wings, they descend upon Times Square in New York City eager to join in the festivities. And when Will spies two lonely strangers in the crowd, he decides midnight is the perfect time to lend a heavenly helping hand. Lucie Farrara and Aren Fairchild meet after bumping into each other—seemingly by accident—in Times Square on New Year’s Eve. They immediately hit it off and find they have a lot in common: Lucie is a burgeoning chef and Aren is a respected food critic. But just as quickly as they’re brought together, another twist of fate tears them apart, leaving Lucie and Aren with no way to reconnect. A year later, Lucie is the chef of an acclaimed new restaurant and Aren is a successful columnist for a major New York newspaper. For all the time that’s passed, the two have not forgotten their one serendipitous evening—and neither have Shirley, Goodness, Mercy, and Will. To reunite the young couple, the angels cook up a brilliant plan: mix true love, a second chance, and a generous sprinkle of mischief to create an unforgettable Christmas miracle. Praise for Angels at the Table “This delightful mix of romance, humor, hope and happenstance is the perfect recipe for holiday cheer.”—Examiner “Rings in Christmas in tried-and-true Macomber style, with romance and a touch of heavenly magic.”—Kirkus Reviews “The angels’ antics are a hugely hilarious and entertaining bonus to a warm love story.”—Bookreporter “[A] sweetly charming holiday romance.”—Library Journal

""Angles at the Table" is everything I want a Debbie Macomber book to be. A wonderful story of my favorite angels coming to Earth to help out some worthy people and in the process getting into a little bit of trouble that gets them off course for a while. I like the new angel Will and the dynamic between him and Shirley, Goodness and Mercy. In the end everyone has learned a life lesson. It's a great book for this time of year and I would recommend it...loved it!"

" Fully expect to see this on Hallmark Channel--featuring Doris Roberts. : ) "

" It's like coming back to old friends. Curious, mischievous, and well-loved friends. "

" Loved it! Sometimes you just want a lovely story, kind of like a grown up fairy tale and that is what felt like. Just a lovely story for an afternoon read. "
— Kathy, 1/27/2014 -
" This was just Sleepless in Seattle with a couple of bumbling idiot angles--think Abbot and Castello as angels--enough to shake my faith. I was really disappointed. I would have given it one star except I save that for books I gong. I don't know why I didn't gong this, except it wasn't offensive, it was just pathetic. Don't waste your holiday reading time on this one. Find something else. "

" I just love the angel books. I am so glad this new one came out and introduced us to Will. The angels still got into trouble, but not as much as previous books. I guess they tamed down since Will was along and learning. Kudos to another great Christmas favorite! "

" Always fun looking forward to the three stars of Debbie's angel series and now they have a new apprentice!! This one doesn't disappoint. Enjoy! "

" This was a nice, little story. Being little, it isn't very detailed. The part I didn't really like was that all of the angle's involvement in Lucie and Aren's lives was just messing everything up...but whatever. "
— Ally, 1/4/2014 -
