A wholesome and popular fantasy that plays into the public's fascination with heavenly messengers who bring comfort, healing and various life lessons to mere mortals. The series follows the earthly adventures of a divine visitor named Monica and her celestial supervisor, Tess, who alternately counsels and chastises her. After a shaky first season in 1994, it soared in the ratings, becoming a Top 10 hit and earning two Emmy nominations each for Roma Downey and Della Reese.
