C.B. Anthony
Since childhood, I have always been interested in stories about angels. Just what kind of lives did they lead? It seems heaven was a place of fun and happiness. Hardly like a place on Earth.
During my teen years, my ideas of heaven changed. My study of philosophy and religious studies suggested that heaven involved eternity, peace and tranquility, and moral perfection. I imagined angels living in a separate celestial world, happy to praise God all day in prayer and devotional music.
Of course, I was most intrigued by guardian angels. They had the added job of watching over human beings, so they had the duty to study human behavior very closely.
But then I imagined, what if there was a wannabee guardian angel, overly moralistic and repelled by human beings, who royally flunked her exam? And in her desperation, she devised a way to get her angel wings by going to Earth and saving some hopeless degenerate?
Then on Earth, Angela would find that life was the opposite of heaven: temporal, always changing, full of discontent, riddled with imperfection and strife, discordant music, and self-glory.
Could Angela reconcile two such different worlds? Especially if she came up against a most obnoxious man, Dickie Beasley: an irrepressible millionaire, ladies' man, devoted gambler, and lush?
I wondered, if the battle of wills began, who would win? I only had the feeling: When the Irresistible Force met the Immovable Object, sparks were going to fly.
