When she receives the news in late 1944 that her baby's father was shot down in the South Pacific, Amelia Richards loses hope. Jobless and broke, she has nowhere to turn for help but her infant's paternal grandparents. The only problem is, they don't know that she--or their grandson--exists. When Amelia discovers that the family is wealthy and influential, dare she disclose the truth of her relationship with their son? Or could the celebration of the arrival of another unexpected baby nearly two thousand years ago be the answer to her dilemma?
Beloved author Melody Carlson pens a story of love, hardship, and reconciliation that will leave readers filled with Christmas joy.

My Review
What a beautiful Christmas story. Melody does it again her books are so good. Just when you thought you read her best one in pops a new one. The characters are so well written. I tell you this book and me in tears.I never put it down once I started. Yes it is for sure a page turner.
After hearing her fiancee is dead shot down in the war Amelia is beside her what to do. Now given birth to his son and no money to raise him. So she sets out to find James parents. Only to hear in the beauty hop grapevine that is mother is not to accepting to other people especially when it comes to something to do with James. Knowing they are wealthy she doesn't want them to think it is all she is after. She just wants for her son Jimmy to know his father's parents. But how is she going to do this. Maybe a little help from a baby was born two thousand years ago. What wonderful gift will Amelia be receiving? Wonderful must read by Melody.
I loved this book! it a great one for this time of year! Loved your post!
