About this item

Angels intervene to save a woman’s life—and a love that was meant to be—in the #1 New York Times–bestselling author’s Christian romance trilogy finale.

Against the advice of her doctor, Mary Catherine moves to Uganda to work at a new orphanage. Whatever time she has left, she wants to spend it helping children—especially since she is unable to have children of her own. The only problem is Marcus Dillinger, the Major League Baseball player she was never meant to fall in love with. But neither Marcus nor Mary Catherine’s other friends—Tyler Ames and Sami Dawson—know just how serious her heart condition is.

Still, Marcus suspects something isn’t right. After months of silence, a divinely timed letter leads him on a desperate life-or-death mission to get her to a US hospital before time runs out. Meanwhile, as Sami and Tyler prepare to marry, the group receives shocking news that changes everyone’s plans.

The team of angels walking is busier than ever in this epic battle between life and death. Brush of Wings is a poignant tale of love, sacrifice, and the power of faith.

Brush of Wings is the third and final book in the Angels Walking series. We'll finally find the answers to the questions we were left with regarding Mary Catherine and Marcus at the end of Chasing Sunsets.

Brush of Wings opens with a meeting of angels in heaven. As with the previous two books in the series, these images have stayed with me. I love the image of angels meeting to discuss how best to help us on earth. This series has been a reminder to me to look for the angels in my life.

Mary Catherine is planning a move to Uganda to work at a new orphanage. Despite the fact that she needs a heart transplant. She goes without telling her parents or her best friend. She tells absolutely no one about her condition. This bugged me. An excellent example of pride, I suppose but I would've felt better if she'd told just one person.

Mary Catherine is also fighting her feelings for Marcus, the man she never meant to fall in love with. While reading Chasing Sunsets and this book I didn't feel a connection or chemistry between Mary Catherine and Marcus. Their relationship felt rushed and underdeveloped. However, from the beginning I loved Tyler and Sami. I felt a connection with this couple and their relationship felt real.

Even though this book didn't grab me as emotionally as the previous two I still enjoyed it. There is a satisfactory ending to each story and this reader appreciates having everything wrapped up.

As a fan of Kingsbury's Baxter series I was pleasantly surprised to see a brief appearance by two members of the family.
