From AudioFile Sterling has been waiting outside heaven's doors since he was hit in the head with a golf ball 46 years ago， but his self-centered attitudes on earth haven't earned him entrance. On a special probationary pass back to the living， Sterling must find one person who needs his help and meet that need. Carol Higgins Clark has a beautiful， musical voice， perfectly suited to this holiday tale of love and redemption. Highlighted by appropriate music at appropriate moments， her performance might be that of an angel， so sweet is its rhythm and so delicate its layers of emotion and excitement. No matter that Mary Higgins Clark's mobsters and their antics don't carry their usual tension and believability; this parable needs only the ring of spiritual truth， which sounds loud and clear.
