A diverse collection of Christmas stories that capture the peculiar magic of the season.
Paper Angels collects many of the annual Christmas stories written by Joe Beine, who has been sending them to friends for over a decade. In "Strings" and its sequel "Dodging Snowflakes," we watch 12-year-old Ellen as she begins to find her way in the adult world. Two stories about whimsical goblins add a touch of laughter to the proceedings. Three angels, Arianne, Jessi and Isabelle, wander through half of the book's stories. Arianne and Jessi transform San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge into a cathedral. Isabelle tells a mysterious tale of two children's snowy playtime. Together these wistful tales capture the peculiar magic of the Christmas season.
