When ten thousand Black people arrive in heaven, the angel Gabriel is at his wit's end. He just does not know what to do, The good Lord had given him the responsibility of helping them to adjust, to simmer down, and to just get along; but they are not behaving in a manner befitting heaven, not at all as they should. Their children are running amok. Their robes are stained and rumpled. Their halos have been turned into earrings, barrets, and necklaces. The pearly gates have become swings. He has to come up with a plan to bring harmony back to heaven. Music, music, music--it is all they listened to. It is something they have in common--all different kinds of music. They all love their music. Maybe, just maybe, the music is the key to solving Gabriel's problem. Homecoming is a sequel to the story of the ten thousand Black people who made it to heaven.
