From "A  Band of Angels©" by Terry Agar

The story is about a young man from south Mississippi who is conscripted by angels in physical form to assist them in an endeavor about which they are initially none too specific. Despite the young man’s misgivings and doubts concerning the legitimacy of these supposedly incarnate angels’ claims, he, based mostly on his attraction to the female angel who initially contacted him, reluctantly agrees to help them.  Though with all the powers they seem to have at their disposal, he cannot imagine what they require of an insecure building contractor whose personal life is in a bit of disarray.

The reluctant hero, Paul Beauvoir, becomes a member of a musical group headed by one of the angels and is concurrently set the task of locating one of the angels’ fallen comrades whom he comes to disapprove of heartily.

While enduring misadventures and disturbing dreams, he gradually becomes aware of repressed memories, which at first are so alien to him that he cannot believe the memories are part of his psyche.  As his belief systems expand, he eventually comes face to face with his own personal demon who looks quite a lot like the devil.

Although the story contains elements of darkness, it is not about the darkness but more about the darkness it takes for us to see the light.
