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.
Although Amelia would be on the train only until tomorrow morning, she unpacked a few things with the goal of making Jimmy and herself as comfortable as possible. To her delight, this cozy sleeping car felt just right for the two of them. Not only that, but as the train began to move, Jimmy relaxed and settled in. Almost as if he were glad they were finally on their way. Maybe he instinctively knew that life was about to get better for them. Perhaps he would enjoy meeting his paternal grandparents. At the moment the train pulled out of the station, anything seemed possible.
