Review – This was the perfect book at the perfect time for me. I admit parts were heart wrenching but very much worth the read. Beverly Lein is a fantastic writer and this is a beautiful story of love, faith, and the true meaning of Christmas. This is one of those books we will sit down and read together as a family. It was very clever and interesting how she weaved St. Joseph, Gabriel, and Santa into one story!
I'm looking forward to reading more by this author.
