The Christmas Blessing by Melody Carlson

When she receives the news in late 1944 that her baby's father was shot down in the South Pacific, Amelia Richards loses hope. Jobless and broke, she has nowhere to turn for help but her infant's paternal grandparents. The only problem is, they don't know that she--or their grandson--exists. 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?

Beloved author Melody Carlson pens a story of love, hardship, and reconciliation that will leave readers filled with Christmas joy.

Here is what I thought........
I love Melody Carlson Christmas books! It is almost a tradition for me to read one of her books every Christmas. I know for the last several years I have managed to get one. I love the fact that they are short and to the point but she manages to pack so much depth and beauty into even a shorter story. I love the setting of WW2 it's always my favorite. The characters are very well written. I love how Melody always has a heart tugging element in her Christmas books. I have enjoyed this book very much. I received this book from Revell for free. A positive review was not required. All opinions are my own.
