Without warning, a streak of\u003cbr\u003elightning, aimed at her like the finger of God, blows a hole in her head through which she is suddenly\u003cbr\u003eable to hear the voices of the universe. Crooning to her in Doo Wop's heavenly harmonies, the voices\u003cbr\u003einstruct Mama to be on the look-out for an angel disguised as a waitress and a calliope man, who is\u003cbr\u003erunning away from himself. They also advise her to hang on because they'll be sending her a recipe for\u003cbr\u003eapple pie that will save her café and maybe, the world. But in the meantime, while she's waiting, they\u003cbr\u003etake her on a ride through the time\/space continuum, with side trips to her past, though the lightning\u003cbr\u003ehas melded her to her lounger. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBefore long, as predicted, the two lost souls find themselves at ma's Café and encounter the buoyant\u003cbr\u003espirit of Mama, the healing power of love, and the magic of redemption.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karen Gottlieb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8218089039\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798218089030\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Apple Pie Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/14\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.54d","brand":"Karen Gottlieb","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44122906558719,"sku":"9798218089030","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6e645690-7a58-4127-b22d-6ed503a4c8f4.jpg?v=1687427794","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/doo-wop-voices-of-god-karen-gottlieb-9798218089030","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
