Where Angels Go- Debbie Macomber

IWHERE ANGELS GO:

This book had extra special meaning to me because Josh gave it to me for my birthday. It was also the first of Debbie Macomber's Angel books that I read. I loved them so much, I rushed out and tried to find all the other angel books she's written, and I hope she continues to write books featuring these angels. Between the library and the used bookstore, I think I have all the ones she's written so far.

Where Angels Go featured 3 different stories. The First story was about a boy named Carter who desperately wanted a dog for Christmas. His dad had recently lost a job, and they couldn't afford the expense of having a dog. One day at school, Carter comes across a stray dog, named Rusty who he really loves. He prays that Rusty will somehow follow his school bus home. Rusty manages to find Carter's house, but Carter's dad still says no. They take him to the animal shelter and Carter is just crushed. A little while later, Rusty finds his way back to Carter's house, and then after a fire one night, Rusty gets to stay because if it hadn't been for his barking, the family wouldn't have woken up and gotten out when they did. At the end of the book the Angels predict that Rusty will stay with the family until he's 16 years old in people years and Carter will remember him for the rest of his life. Carter's father will soon be offered a job at Higer pay, and Carter's mom will also start working with the school district.

The next story was about Harry Alderwood, who was dying of heart failure. He had a wife, Rosalie, who he'd been married to for 60 years. They also had children and grandchildren. This is Harry's last Christmas on earth, and one night he swears he sees an Angel. He is always trying to talk Rosalie, who's memory seems to be going, into moving to a assisted-living center. Harry died while taking a nap on Christmas Eve. All of his family had been at his house that day. His daughter had also just paid the deposit for them to move to Libery Orchard, and now Rosalie would be able to. At the end of the story, the angels predict that Rosalie will move into Liberty Orchard and

The third story was about a girl who met this guy through playing an Online Game, World of Warcraft. His name was Peter and he was sweet, charming, and wonderful. She was also divorced and seemed scared to get into another relationship. Her and Peter agreed to meet in person, and it was then that she figured out that Peter was actually her ex-husband John, but was going by his middle name now. After realizing how well they got along without realizing who they really were, they decided to give their relationship another try. At the end of the story, the Angels predict that Peter and Beth will remarry and eventually have three children- John, Mary, and Tim.

I honestly don't knw which story I liked best....I really enjoyed each one of them and I can't wait to read more of Debbie's Angel books.
