An Academy Award-winning costume designer, Rosie, blessed with an innate goodness, is the Angel of the title.

Told with the power that only Barbara Taylor Bradford can bring to the page, this stunning novel is not only about a family of friends but also about individuals who, in facing their own mortality, are compelled to reevaluate their lives and strengthen their commitments.
