The Island of Heavenly Daze (Heavenly Daze Series #1) [Paperback]

Lori Copeland (Author), Angela Elwell Hunt (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2001

To a casual visitor, the island of Heavenly Daze is just like a dozen others off the coast of Maine. It is decorated with graceful Victorian mansions, carpeted with gray cobblestones and bright wild flowers, and populated by sturdy, hard-working folks-most of whom are unaware that the island of Heavenly Daze is not just like the other islands of coastal Maine. The small town that crowns its peak consists of seven buildings, each inhabited, according to divine decree, by an angel who has been commanded to guard and help anyone who crosses the threshold. 

Unexpected hijinks and heart-warming results occur when mortals and immortals cross paths-and unaware visitors to the picturesque establishments of Heavenly Daze discover that they have been entertained by angels.

The Island of Heavenly Daze is an endearing book that places the reader on a small island off the coast of Maine. The characters are introduced in a way that leaves you wanting more. The Heavenly part of the island, and unknown to its inhabitants, are the seven men that live along side them who are angels sent from God to help them find their way.

This book is the first of three and focuses on the beloved Reverend of the local church who has lost his way, and needs a bit of a nudge from one of our angels. After ten years with this small community he fears they want to replace him with some one younger. His baldness becomes a major issue and he decides he needs a toupee. The antics begin and the laughs are frequent. There is also a serious side to our community and story as an aunt and long lost niece need help finding their way back to each other.

This book is similar to the Mitford Series by Jan Karon. Titled "The Heavenly Daze Series", the second book is titled GRACE IN AUTUMN, and the third is A WARMTH IN WINTER. Kelsana 2/8/02

This book really touched my heart. It was not only very humorous but the message of God's love and devotion to us gave me a feeling of hope and strength. This is a wonderful book for anyone that loves the Lord and loves to laugh. I can only hope that some day angels will be living in my home! Please, read this novel - I guarantee there is something wonderful in it for everyone.

A delightful read! You'll find yourself laughing out loud at these different characters living on the island of Heavenly Daze. A refreshing approach to teaching us how God works in our lives no matter what our personality. Lori Copeland and Angela Hunt have hit a home run with this series! Can't wait to see what these charming people will get into next!
