Single,
childless but successful, Carissa Whitmore takes a vacation from Florida living and goes
to Yuletide, New York, to find the faith she feels she’s lost. Carissa seeks the joy
she used to know at Christmas. Her very first night in town gives her snow, suspense, and
a lovely surprise. There is more in store for Carissa, a lot more, but to say so here
would spoil the fun of discovering it yourself.
Paul
Spencer has returned home for a surprise visit to his sister – who has traded homes
for the holidays with Carissa. Paul is unaware that his sister is gone and that
lovely Carissa is staying in the house. When Paul finally meets Carissa, he finds her
charming and immediately the two hit it off. But, there is more in store for Mr. Spencer.
A lot more.
Bit by
bit things change in the house. A teddy bear is missing, there’s no food in the
fridge, the sound of footsteps patter when Carrissa is in bed. And, then one day, she and
Paul discover children. Hiding. In the house.
Immediately Paul and Carissa embrace the
siblings and they fill a mom sized hole Carissa longed to have filled. They can’t
keep the children – can they? Will love be enough to show them the right thing to do?
Will love be enough to make sure the right thing is done?
Get ready for a fun read in The Christmas
Children. Award winning author Irene Brand writes a seasonal heart warming and enchanting
story of love. But, not just romantic love, but God’s love, parental love, and
selfless love are threads cleverly woven through the pages. Pick up your copy and share it
with a friend. You could read it as a family and discuss what you would do if your family
met the same fate.
Merry
Christmas!
