Paper Angels

The Stories


"Dreaming is the only way an adult can become like a child again."


Two angels turn the Golden Gate Bridge into a cathedral. A boy finds a magical feather in Frankfurt, Germany. An old woman tells her great granddaughter a childhood story about a man in her home village who tried to photograph angels. In Dublin, Ireland a girl meets a homeless woman and together they share a small bit of holiday cheer. These stories and many more are collected in this delightful Christmas book.
