In Katherine Valentine's A Miracle for St. Cecilia's the citizens of Dorsetville saw their prayers answered when their beloved church was saved from destruction. Now, in A Gathering of Angels, new beginnings are in the air. The redoubtable Mother Superior and her nuns bustle to open a renovated mansion as a retirement home. Harry at the Country Kettle-absorbed in a budding romance with the lonely town spinster-welcomes a take-charge waitress from New York (though some customers find her less homey than his famous coffee and mismatched plates). Father James Flaherty faces new challenges-along with the ones he's all too familiar with-from lagging repair work at St. Cecilia's to parishioners who urge him to combat his growing waistline and climbing cholesterol with, of all things, kickboxing.
But when a young girl is in danger and out-of-town mobsters menace Barry Hornibrook's half-built hotel, it's time for all Dorsetvillians to pull together. When they do, there's no telling what miracles are in store.
