If you are looking to get yourself into the Christmas spirit a little early this year, then I highly recommend The Christmas Blessing by Melody Carlson. The growth of her character was wonderful to see. I found myself actually crying for Amelia and was intrigued by the misconceptions of the people in town who misjudged Helene (Jame's mother). I love how the author integrated the birth of Jesus into this story! The Christmas Blessing is more than what I expected. But then the worse thing possible happens - her baby gets sick and she becomes desperate. The only problem is that they have no idea who she is and when Amelia finds out they are rich and that Helene (Jame's mother) is someone known to be harsh and critical, she is hesitant to approach them. Her only option is to approach James' parents for help. She finds herself in the unenviable position of having no family to help her, a child out of wedlock and no money to support her infant son. What does a girl do when she is alone, with a new baby to feed and has no money? She becomes desperate.Īmelia Richards believes her fiance James (and father of her baby) is dead, killed in the South Pacific when his plane was shot down.
