Then Libby Simmons' bracelet goes missing and no one can find it. Gracie tries to solve the mystery while busily involved in her church's efforts to feed a hungry family for the holidays. Then a car accident on the ice lands Gracie in the unheated home of the young Freeman family, where sensitive listening and clever sleuthing help her find out the angel's secret.
