Synopsis:
"It's true what they say, you know: If you talk to God, you're religious; but if you hear from God, you're schizophrenic."
When a car accident leaves a famous movie star in a coma, nurse Kemp McAvoy thinks he has found his ticket to the life he's always wanted. As a med school dropout who was on his way to becoming an anesthesiologist, Kemp has the knowledge to carry off the crazy plan he concocts: adjust the star's medication each night and pretend to be a heavenly visitor giving her messages. He recruits her agent and a down-and-out publisher to make sure the messages will become the next spiritual bestseller and make them all rich.
But his girlfriend's daughter, Leah, keeps telling people that she is seeing angels, and her mother and her teachers are all afraid that something is wrong.
Before it's all over, they'll all learn a few things about angels, love, and hope.

My Opinion:
This is one of those stories that is going to stick with me for a while. Even though it's fiction. Just the idea that seeing angels can lead people to believe what they do... there was once a time when I thought we were wrong not to believe in angels. At least with a christian upbringing that is what we are led to believe. So why not believe a child, so pure in heart, can see them. I think the idea is, well, heavenly.
The writer knew how to get the story out, and make you think about what was in it.
The other part of the story, is like the rest. Just a tale, with bad guys and bad ideas. Well put together though, because you get angry in parts where it's merited.
That is the making of a great read!
One for the recommendation list!
