A sweet and amusing tale of Sterling Brooks, on Earth a selfish man, who has been trying to get into Heaven for over 40 years. A celestial council gives him a chance to redeem himself and sends him back to earth to help someone in need. At Rockefeller Center, he finds a grieving child who doesn't understand why her father and grandmother left her so abruptly and won't come home. There's a bit of villainous comedy relief in this one.

This was a charming, funny Christmas themed thriller about two thugs with a deep devotion to their mama, a father and grandmother forced into the Witness Protection Program and the forlorn little girl left behind. Sterling Brooks has been waiting around just outside Heaven's gates for almost 50 years. Although he hasn't been a Scrooge, he has been neglectful of his fellow human beings and a council of angels decide to send him to earth to try and redeem himself by helping someone in need. He finds the little girl. Can he reunited her with her father and grandmother in time for Christmas?

I enjoyed this book an great deal. It was easy to read and it allowed me to mentally escape into a world of possibilities. It has increased my faith in something I already believe... that there is a God who is watching and taking care of us, and an unseen world that is constantly influencing our lives.
