Raphael (Raffie to her friends) is a young angel just beginning to earn
her wings. But she is enthusiastic and ambitious and very keen to get
involved with things on Earth. Given an unexpected opportunity, she
manages to wreak havoc with the weather. Even more unexpectedly given a
second chance, she discovers something very unpleasant on a Welsh
mountainside. And soon, her life of cheerful interference and
well-meaning duty is turned upside down as she is swept up in a cosmic
struggle which the power of evil looks to be winning. In a story that is
alternately humorous and gripping, Raffie's life spins out of control
while those who could prevent it seem willing to allow it to happen.
