One night can change a life. For eight-year-old Terry McQuinn, it was a
snowy Christmas Eve on the coast of Maine, when Terry glimpsed a world
he'd never seen before - the "summer people's" world unknown to the son
of a caretaker. Serenity Cottage was a place of beauty and privilege
owned by the luminous Halworths - but in the blink of an eye a tragic
accident left the family in ruins. Now thirty years later, Terry has
spent his life putting distance between himself and his history.
Determined not to follow in his father's footsteps, he became a
high-flying Hollywood film agent - but has somehow lost himself along
the way. Terry is finally called back to Maine by the death of his
father - but in the workshop Terry comes across a note in his father's
hand that stops him cold: Open Serenity for Christmas. No one has been
in the house since that fateful night three decades earlier. Although
Terry's first instinct is to leave it all behind, he soon discovers that
Katherine Halworth, the girl from thirty years before, is the new owner.
With her arrival imminent, Terry's past comes rushing back. In the hands
of critically acclaimed author Don J. Snyder, Fallen Angel is a warm and
unique Christmas tale, reminding us it's never too late to forgive - and
never too late to love.
