The Teacher, the Angel and the Christmas Song - Paperback

by Girish Parbhu Patel (Author)

Believe in Guardian Angels? Think again It is Christmas. Inspirational, troubled teacher Gary is 59, and does not believe in Guardian Angels, even though he had been watched ever since the day of his birth. But when this inspirational, troubled teacher protects his students against a violent bully, he loses it all and his lifelong dream of stardom as a rockstar disappear forever as he struggles to make ends meet on the eve of his sixtieth birthday, until a sequence of events sends him with his faithful dog to rural Ireland, where he teams up with old aged pensioner Jack and feisty vet Kathleen to hatch an audacious plan to pen the greatest Christmas song ever written in a desperate bid to win 1 million in the world's most prestigious song contest. But when ruthless ex-soldier Seamus stands in the loveable trio's way, Gary makes the ultimate sacrifice in a dramatic showdown, but the beautiful Guardian Angel present at his birth is watching and embarks on a desperate journey to the pearly gates to plead for Gary's life and soul with fateful consequences. From the author of Emily, Aphasia & Mister James, Victoria Frankenstein and Mahatma comes an enchanting Christmas story set in rural Ireland, of dashed hopes, the power of friendships forged in adversity, of life's troubles shared and a love of music that transcends all ages and barriers.
