Ruth Newman and Sylvia Harris are both in Heaven, but they can't rest in peace until they know their children, Dan and Gayla, are happy. So the two ghosts become matchmakers. And when Dan and Gayla meet, they feel an irresistible pull toward each other. But Gayla is afraid to trust Dan, a doctor who reminds her of her cold, distant father; so Sylvia must reach out to her daughter in a way she never could on Earth--and help Gayla believe in love again.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Ruth Newman and Sylvia Harris are two meddling ghosts who have more than just heavenly zip codes in common. Each has a single child whose happiness means the world to them. How better to assure their children's joy than to play matchmaker for them? Arranging for the two to meet is the easy part. Helping them to fall in love is something else altogether. Gayla Harris has no intention of getting involved with Dr. Dan Newman. He reminds her too much of her cold, uncaring physician father. But Dan's charisma and kindness--and her ghostly mother's helping hand--just may convince Gayla to give Dan a second chance. Told with humor and compassion, Sara Jarrod's original story is sure to charm a multitude of romance readers. --Maudeen Wachsmith

5.0 out of 5 stars Obstacles are only as big as you make them..., November 10, 1998

This review is from: Arranged in Heaven (Paperback)

This book was great. It was funny but it also conveyed some very powerful messages. I think that this book would be for anyone who is tired of the characters in a romance book being absolutely perfect. I believe that this book depicts how people with emotional and physical troubles deal with the obstacles put in their way and how they overcome them with the strenght of their love. It was a great book and I would highly recommend it. The sex wasn't as steamy as Heavenly Bliss but it was still a good book. The only improvement could be more sex scenes.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Impressed with this book, September 30, 1998

This review is from: Arranged in Heaven (Paperback)

I read Heaven Above and loved it!!! A very heart warming book. However, Arranged in Heaven doesn't deliver---it does have some steamy sex scenes but not much else. I don't recommend it!

4.0 out of 5 stars The handicapped have found a champion!, July 18, 1999

As a person that doesn't read much romance, I got this book for pure escapism and found myself much intrigued. First, there were the ghostly, stereotypically Jewish mother matchmakers who might have made the book all by themselves had it not been for the novelty of the hero being an amputee. I don't believe I've EVER read a book where the romantic interest was an amputee. I was very impressed that Sara Jarrod would break the physical handicapped barrier by making it so. Good job, Ms. Jarrod!
