No Angels For Christmas

          Child psychologist Rachel Kelly isn't quite sure how to handle the situation with her newest client -- a six-year-old boy who says he can talk to angels, one is coming to help Rachel. She already has her hands full of trouble this Christmas season, and things quickly take a turn for the worse when a stalker crashes Rachel's Christmas party and takes her young clients hostage.

          Police negotiator, Lt. Jake Dillon, walked away from his fiancée Rachel when she suddenly balked at having kids. His kids. Yet when the hostage crisis erupts, Rachel calls Jake first. Now he has a choice to make -- stand back and wait for the cavalry to save Rachel or step in and try to save her himself. Time is running out, and Jake may be their only chance for rescue.

          Unless Rachel's little angel-spying client is telling the truth…

Our Review:

This is a delightful story for any season of the year and quite timely in the content. A woman with a heart almost too big for all the ills this world presents her is forced to face a challenge on a personal level—one that has many answers, none of which is pleasant.

Kudos to author McCarty for doing her research, not only on the dread disease of Duchenne's MD but also child abuse—in all its ramifications, including abuser profiles and the effects on victims. Well done.

On a scale of 1 to 5, No Angels For Christmas deserves a 5+
