The Prodigal Angel

By Evelyn Dunbar-Webb

In Heaven, little Rachel wants more than anything to be a Guardian Angel. She dreams of going to Earth. She wants to see all the beautiful places she has read about. But instead, she sits in class and hears about them from her teacher. The only thing she thinks to do is run away to Earth and see it for herself. After all, she has friends, so she knows plenty about love and helping others. But soon after she arrives, she discovers everything is a lot harder than she thought.

Come join Rachel on her adventure as she learns what it really means to be a Guardian Angel, which is so much more than wanting to be one.

Rachel drummed her fingers on her desk and sighed. Her teacher, Ms. Mercy, had just handed out the weekly spelling test and was giving the class their instructions. But Rachel’s thoughts drifted onto more important things, and Ms. Mercy’s voice faded away.

Rachel stared out the window, her chin in her hand. As much as she liked school and enjoyed time with her friends, she would like it better if she could visit the places she learned about in class.
