Synopsis of Touched by an Angel: God Bless the Child

Even though her brother died of a drug overdose, a young, angry black girl named Charnelle (Kenya Williams) is on the brink of becoming a hopeless addict herself. Fortunately, Monica (Roma Downey) has shown up to help Charnelle write a school essay about finding "a piece of yourself in history." With the help of her fellow angels, Monica tells Charnelle the cautionary story of famed blues singer Billie Holliday, who likewise nearly allowed drugs to overwhelm her as she prepared her first public performance of the anti-lynching anthem "Strange Fruit". But in the end, Monica is not nearly as effective with Charnelle as the girl's own grandmother Georgia (Mary Alice), who has a story of her own to tell. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
