My Christmas Angels / Jason W. Chan / 137 pages / Winter Holiday Themed Book

Inspired by a true story, My Christmas Angels is the story of Greg, a near homeless, unemployed man and his daughter Angie.  Greg's mother was alcoholic and he never knew his father.  He quit high school in eleventh grade to support his Mom.  An unfortunate affair gave him his daughter, Angie, and the mother ran off to Las Vegas.  Due to the recession and the downturn in the economy, Greg is reduced to begging on the street and is evicted from his apartment when he cannot pay the rent.  At a homeless shelter he meets Jessica, a former girlfriend he had cheated on.  She offers her spare room to Greg and Angie.  Angie falls on a slippery sidewalk, suffers, a head injury, and emerges from surgery in a coma.  Her treetop angel watches over her with hope and determination.  Greg effects a miraculous recovery in the teenage psychiatric unit.
