It was bad enough finding out she had just become newly deceased on the morning of a major corporate merger she had spent months putting together. The real bombshell for Gwen Truax comes when she's informed by the powers that be in the Hereafter she has an assignment which must be completed by Christmas; specifically, to find a new wife for Dan, the husband she was planning to divorce. Sent back to Earth in the frumpy persona of an inept typist, forced to live in a terrible flat above a noisy Chinese restaurant, and-even worse-to be fraternizing amongst the lowest rungs of her former executive ladder, Gwen has yet to discover that all of her actions are being evaluated by an angel in disguise.
