“Shirley, Goodness and Mercy.” In San Francisco,
sexagenarian Greg Bennett has a sinful history of abandonment (his pregnant
girlfriend and dying mom) and betrayal (his brother and partner). He wanders into a church where he prays for
the first time in decades. No angel
wants to help this loser find redemption so Archangel Gabriel assigns the
impossible project to his three zaniest subordinates: Shirley, Goodness and
Mercy.
“Those Christmas Angels.” In Seattle, Anne Fletcher worries about her
son Roy, who used to be an outgoing friendly person, but now is an acrimonious
workaholic Scrooge. She wants Roy to
rediscover what life is all about though a grandchild would be nice so she prays
for heavenly intervention. Now Anne
might have reconsidered turning to heaven if she knew angels Shirley, Goodness
and Mercy were going to answer her prayers.
The angelic trio literally tosses Julie Wilcoff in Roy's path. However, when this threesome interferes it
means chaos.
“Where Angels Go.” Although he expects these three rule breakers
to cause him heart failure, Archangel Gabriel realizes they miraculously get
heavenly results. He reluctantly sends
them to answer Christmas prayers for divine intervention. Mercy tries helping
elderly Harry find peace before he dies as he fears leaving his beloved wife
behind. Goodness assists Beth in taking a second chance at love ever since her
forever marriage ended quickly. Finally Shirley grants a wish to a little boy
who just wants to keep his dog, but his family cannot afford another mouth to
feed.
This omnibus reprint of three
lighthearted tales stars the Murphy of angelic matchmaking; as “anything that can go wrong will go wrong” with this trio’s heavenly intervention
