A Child's Christmas Wish

GIVEAWAY
VETSCH, ERICA
A CHILD'S CHRISTMAS WISH

A baby for Christmas

The only Christmas gift Oscar Rabb's four-year-old daughter prays for is one the widower can't provide: a baby sibling. And when his neighbour's house burns down, he's willing to open his home to pregnant and widowed Kate Amaker and her in-laws -- but not his heart. Even if his little girl's convinced Kate's unborn child is the answer to her wish.

Kate quickly sees the generous but aloof Oscar has little interest in growing closer to his houseguests. Still, she intends to make the coming Christmas a season to remember for his daughter. And as Oscar starts to open up to her, Kate can't help picturing just how wonderful the holiday -- and a future together -- might be.

My Review:

 A heartwarming Christmas story destined to become a traditional favourite.

 I adore the way Erica Vetsch includes historical details that make me feel like I'm right there smack in the middle of the story. I think I might just be able to make cheese now -- at least the old-fashioned way. The author has created a little bit of Switzerland in the wilds of Minnesota, including some delightful Christmas traditions.

Take one reclusive widower with a heart-stopping adorable four-year-old daughter and thrust him completely out of his comfort zone when he's compelled to provide shelter for  his stranded neighbours. Watching Oscar slowly unbend as Kate and her in-laws transform his solitary life into a buzz of activity was pure reader delight.

A hope-filled story that definitely belongs on the discerning reader's Christmas reading list.

    I love Erica's books, her writing style and how she seamlessly weaves faith through it all!

    I also love when a widow/widower gets another chance at love...that's the sweetest kind in my book :-)

    I'd like to read this book simply because it's written by Erica Vetsch. I've read enough of her books to know it has to be good.

      78 in Cleveland? We're having warmer than average temps too but not that warm. Good luck, Diane.

    Love the cover too! But I’m not sure I’m ready to read a snow/winter story. Guess I could put it on my list of what to read on a cold wintery day in front of my fireplace. becci43atgmaildotcom

      It is kind of funny to read a cold weather story and then step out into the warm sunshine to do some gardening. LOL Good luck, Becky.
