Readers loved Jerry Bledsoe's
The Angel Doll, the 1950s story of 10-year-old Whitey Black, his
love for his little sister Sandy, a victim of polio, and his quest to
fulfill her Christmas wish for an angel doll. Critics claimed it "a
gem of a story," and "a modern Christmas classic."
A Gift of Angels takes
up the story nearly half a century later.
It not only tells how The
Angel Doll came about, but how it set the narrator, now the
possessor of the doll, on his own quest to find his long-missing friend
Whitey so that he can solve a Christmas mystery and return the doll to
its rightful place.
An endearing story of
friendship, love, and giving, A Gift of Angels is sure to find a
place in readers' hearts, even if they haven't read The Angel Doll.
