Abby Wentworth died suddenly of a brain aneurysm while only in her 40s, but not before she had completed her Christmas presents for her closest friends - the fellow members of her book group. While her friends grieve the loss of a woman who lived life well, they decide to use the Christmas Angel ornaments she gave them as inspiration to start a new project - being "Christmas Angels" themselves.
The idea is for each of them to bring some good to the world. As each woman uses her personal talents and gifts to make a difference, she will learn some valuable lessons about herself and her life, aided by yet another secret gift Abby left behind.
The Christmas Angel Project is a lovely, inspiring novel by award-winning author Melody Carlson, perfect for enjoying during the Advent or Christmas season.
