Publisher Description

Alone at Christmas, Greg Bennett feels his life has been a waste. Sixty years old and he has no one to spend Christmas with, no one who cares.

Greg knows he's made mistakes, hurt people, failed in all the ways that matter. As a young man, he fathered a child he never acknowledged. He deserted a friend in his hour of need. He abandoned his own brother, whom he hasn't seen in years.

Listlessly wandering the streets of San Francisco, Greg finds himself in a church, and whispers a simple heartfelt prayer. A prayer that finds its way to the Archangel Gabriel who assigns angels Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy, to Greg Bennett's case. Because Gabriel knows full well that Greg's going to need the assistance of all three!

Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy are determined to create a miracle for Greg. In their usual inimitable way, they are set to show him what life, joy, and Christmas are all about!

"With "Angels at the Table", the feast will be a celestial fest, especially when Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy are in attendance. Author Debbie Macomber brings back her mischievous Prayer Ambassadors in a quick and quirky Christmas romance that definitely sparkles with holiday appeal. This time, the angelic trio has an apprentice named Will in tow as they visit New York City on New Year's Eve. When Will sees the opportunity to try out his divine matchmaking skills, he inadvertently initiates a meeting that was supposed to take place a year later. Lucie Ferrara and Aren Fairchild are each lonely in their own way, and they immediately hit it off when they are nudged together by Will. Spending an enjoyable evening together talking, they agree to meet a week later, but they don't exchange contact information. Will shows up and Lucie doesn't, and the two are kept apart by a twist of fate. One year later, the Angels decide that it's time to make things right, and they set about to reunite Lucie and Aren. The trouble is, Lucie is a chef, and Aren is a food critic--is this truly a match made in Heaven, or will there be more complications on the plate than even the wily winged ones can serve up with a smile? "Angels at the Table" is a delightful, delicious, early holiday gift from the lady who does December best--talented storyteller Debbie Macomber. Guaranteed to chase away the humbugs.

    " Now I don't normally read books with ghosts, fairies, vampires and, dare I say, angels. But I enjoy a good Christmas book every year and this year brought me angels! Hmmmmm. So I gave it a go and I'm glad I did. Now I'm interested in going back and reading the other books in this series that I naturally shy away from. "
