The Christmas Blessing is set on the homefront during World War II. It is the story of a young mother, Amelia Richards, and how she journies from San Diego, California to Rockford, Montana in order to introduce her son to his paternal grandparents. I loved the character of Amelia and how the reader was given a chance to know her selfless heart. I wish we could have seen more into the lives of the other characters but since it is a novella there just wasn't enough time to do so. I truly wish Ms. Carlson would lengthen this novella into a full-length novel so we could get to know the characters better.
I can say I cried and smiled throughout the story because the author pulled me in at the start and held me to the end.
I would highly recommend The Christmas Blessing to anyone who enjoys a quick holiday read. I'm sure you'll love it.
On a 5-Star scale = 4 Stars!
I would like to thank Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group for my copy of The Christmas Blessing. I received my copy for free in order to read it and give my honest review.
Smiles & Blessings,
