The story

Nine-year-old Evelyn Doyle and her two brothers, Maurice and Dermot, are left motherless when their mother leaves their drunkard, out-of-work father Desmond Doyle. When Desmond's mother-in-law reports the situation to the authorities, a judge decrees that the children are prohibited by law from being left in a broken home; they are placed in Church-run orphanages. Evelyn's grandfather takes her to the girls' orphanage and explains to her that rays of light created by the sun shining in a specific spot through the clouds are called "angel rays"; they indicate that a guardian angel is watching over her.
