Russell's mother Hattie also joins the family. Together they decide to get to know America with all their belongings . Russell also wants to deepen his faith and spirituality after having contact with the angel Tess. ( Crossover to A Touch of Heaven )

background

The series, started by Martha Williamson , was a success at the beginning, but later the enthusiasm of the US television viewers waned. The success of A Touch of Heaven could not be transferred to the offshoot, which is why it was discontinued after only three seasons.

Already in the first episode of the second season of Touched by an Angel had Gerald McRaney a guest appearance, but not as Russell Greene.
