Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matchmaking is a tough job, even for guardian angels. It should have been a simple Christmas task: answer nice, old Mr. Shepherd's prayer for his favorite tenants. Gabby D'Angelo and Dr. Mike Archer were perfect for each other--destined to meet eventually, anyhow. Just sprinkle some matchmaking magic on them--slow down their busy lives so they finally noticed each other. That's all Jack, their guardian angel, had to do . . . A little mistake in heavenly calculations means Jack has to wing it . . . and the lucky couple is about to get a lesson in love and miracles. Gabby stared at the beautiful baby the officer placed in her arms. It was a newborn, not more than a few days old. Why was the officer handing her a baby he'd found in her stolen car--he assumed it was hers? She almost blurted out that question, but the baby shifted and waved its arms as it slept. On one was a hospital bracelet. Gabby smiled with relief. The bracelet would identify the real parents. She turned it to read the information. Her neighbor Mike bent his handsome head beside hers, so he could see, too. Carol. The baby's name. She'd been born right after midnight on Christmas night. Gabby stared at the parent's names. Mike inhaled sharply. Gabrielle D'Angelo and Mike Archer.

This modern-day sequel to the Charles Dickens classic assumes all of the above. And this time, the spiritual trio's attentions have been directed to a not-so-nice woman in Philadelphia. Ellie Printh is a 53-year-old heart transplant survivor and wealthy business owner who loves no one and has no intention of changing that. On the anniversary of the life-saving operation performed seven Christmas Eves prior, the spirit of her equally irascible heart donor warns her she will be visited by three ghosts, looking to reform her character and give her a fresh start. But will this supernatural encounter change Ellie for good or are some people simply too stuck in their ways? John Derr's Dickens-inspired novel is a Christmas story that can be enjoyed at any time of the year. Exploring some big themes including childhood trauma and abuse, Another Christmas Carol's message will stay with readers long after they finish the final page.
