Although his sister doesn't live to see her doll, we learn of another angel who many years later gives angel dolls to children in terminal hospital wards each Christmas.In this deeply moving sequel to The Angel Doll, Bledsoe tells the rest of the story and brings the characters full-circle to present day.
