Dust On Their Wings

Margaret Hart. Maximilian Lamb. Their superiors from beyond the stars have given them human bodies and dispatched them to Planet Earth, specifically to Asheville, North Carolina. Their mission: to bring together Emily Hoffman, a broken-hearted teacher, and pharmacist John Flyte, a boy in a man's body who claims to know women, but can never hold onto one. As it turns out, John and Emily are the least of their problems. Soon after their arrival, Max and Maggie find themselves embroiled in a situation never before encountered by any of their kind, a bewildering dance of emotions incomprehensible to them. Why were they sent here? What is their real mission? What strange force is drawing them together? Are they part of some celestial experiment? Are they creatures of free will? Are they in a state of rebellion or a state of grace? Dust On Their Wings is an entertainment about the mysterious pathways of the human heart. Through Max and Maggie we remember--or perhaps rediscover--the tremendous power of passion and love: the feeling of fingertips on fingertips, the first kiss, secrets shared in a glance. Through them we also remember the words from the Old Book: "Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."
