Conflicts between Men and Women have been through the beginning of time. Heaven sent me when someone prayed asking for help with a broken heart. My name is Angela. All went well until another Angel, Duke, was sent to help. My mission was to try to teach a male human how to treat a woman to let love flourish. Sometimes my subject listened to me but most of the time he ignored my suggestions. I tried to teach Troy, my subject to listen to women and not to talk about himself all the time. I was trying to teach him to listen to her feelings. I Duke was here to enlighten Angela. More than half the time Angela didn’t understand the man’s perspective. With all the classes she took, she still didn’t have a clue about men. I was called down from Heaven to enlighten her. Read the book and tell me if Angel or Duke is right.

Angela introduces herself and how prayers work, demonstrating the reason why she is sent to specifically help Troy. Her role is to help Troy understand women, communicating until he can finally hear 'God's voice' and make changes to his routine. Halfway through, Angela realises she doesn't understand men so God sends down another angel to help her. Duke's role is to show the man's perspective as Angela has concentrated on women's perspectives. Stereotypes are used among the angels, which makes for a difficult read. The concept is also great but not executed on paper as there is no growth from either angel.
