The Christmas Blessing is a quick read I finished it in one day. Will Jimmy and Amelia finally find a home?
Desperate to provide for Jimmy, Amelia makes a hard decision. But life is hard on Amelia - first she has her funds stolen, then she and her baby, Jimmy, become ill. From sunny San Diego, Amelia travels to Montana to find a family for her and her young son. In the midst of WWII, young mother Amelia Richards embarks on a life-changing trip with her 7-week old baby. The Christmas Blessing is part romance, part family drama, and all feel-good reading experience. For the 2017 holidays, readers are in for a treat. Melody Carlson is known for her heart-warming Christmas novellas, and many readers kick off the season with one of her new books. To find out more about Melody Carlson, visit her website at.
Carlson has two grown sons and makes her home in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and yellow Lab dog. She’s won a number of awards (including Romantic Time’s Career Achievement Award, the Rita and the Gold Medallion) and some of her books have been optioned for film/TV. Her annual Christmas novellas become more popular each year. Her young adult novels ( Diary of a Teenage Girl, TrueColors, etc.) appeal to teenage girls around the world. Her novels range from serious issues like schizophrenia ( Finding Alice) to lighter topics like house-flipping ( A Mile in My Flip-Flops) but most of the inspiration behind her fiction comes right out of real life. That’s a lot of books, but mostly she considers herself a “storyteller”. Melody Carlson has written more than 200 books (with sales around 6.5 million) for teens, women and children. 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? The only problem is, they don’t know that she - or their grandson - exists. Jobless and broke, she has nowhere to turn for help but her infant’s paternal grandparents. When she receives the news in late 1944 that her baby’s father was shot down in the South Pacific, Amelia Richards loses hope.
