Christmas entertainment for the price of the stamps.

Following the German tradition, 2 fatherless children, write a letter to Christkindl (Christ Child) asking for a new father for Christmas. That requires the widow mother to accept this man as well, but the kids keep their request a secret. Predictable ending? Yes. But the journey through the pages is a delight. Changing emotions and conditions create abundant hurdles to overcome. If you want a deep study of the Christmas holiday, and how that impacts other cultures (in this book's case it is Rocky Mountain farmers, German, and Scottish) this book is not it. This book is pure entertainment with a happy ending, JUST LIKE MOST OF US WANT FOR OUR CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY. It will get you in the Christmas spirit. My wife and I both enjoyed this quick read.
Not her best!

First of all I wanted to like this book, and not just because I paid fifteen dollars for it. I loved Daughter of Joy and Woman of Grace. It is a novella with the typical story line-- a young widow with children at Christmas, they want a new Dad, a stranger lands on their doorstep (actually brought to it by her father-in-law)she lost her husband to strangers but takes him in anyway against her better judgment, nurses him back to health,and the rest is predictable. That is not my problem with it. Ian Sutherland is a dreamy Scotsman and believable but Anna is prickly and not likable due to a traumatic past, she definitely lusts after Ian (this is a Christian book right, I could have lived with out that whole lusting scene) and then she tells him her horrendous past which she never shared with her very devoted first husband, I found that hard to swallow. I also found their falling in love to be ho hum. Ms Morgan can write good deep satisfying novels but in my opinion this was not one of them!
