The Christmas Angel Project by Melody CarlsonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
4.0/5.0 - A lovely little book about 5 friends, Abby, Belinda, Grace, Cassidy and Louisa. They are shattered when Abby unexpectedly dies in her early forties. She is the glue that holds them together. She leaves them handcrafted angels that she made for them, with a special message hidden inside each one. As they struggle to come to terms with her death, they decide to use the angels to inspire them to carry on, and do Christmas angel projects. One helps a group of high school girls gain confidence in themselves, another starts an art therapy group, the third donates their designer services to help three families with a living room in their new homes, and the final one provides volunteer veterinarian services for elderly people on fixed incomes.
While the idea is to help others, they find that in doing this, they are helping themselves - to heal, and find new meaning in their lives. There are even some budding romances! A nice faith based book that isn't preachy.
