Description
Three years after overcoming a devastating car accident, Todd wakes from what he thinks is a terrible dream to see his mother embrace his motionless body below, realizing he has died. To ease his transition into Heaven, he tells stories about the unconditional love of his mother, family, and friends to all the other little angels. One little angel, Haley, knew no such love during her short years on earth. She is enchanted by the goodness of Todd's family and decides to visit his mother on earth. Mesmerized by her daring adventure and happiness, all the other angels decide to follow her-leaving Heaven and finding families on earth who will also love them unconditionally. The sudden appearance of so many little children on earth in search of families, causes quite the stir in the small town of Woodridge Lake. As news reports go viral across the Nation, many undeserving parents recognize their deceased child, which leads to chaos, confusion, and fear. Todd is joined by an Elder, the Scribe, who is the keeper of all people and events on Earth. They need to gather all the little angels from earth and return them to Heaven before the news reporters discover the truth. And he must do it without being seen by his mother. Haley is the first one to convince. Meanwhile, on Earth, Alice (Todd's mother) has the daunting task of learning how to live without a part of her heart. Told from alternating POV (Todd and Alice) we follow their journey as they both travel into a new tomorrow neither of them expected to ever be so soon.
