The Christmas Blessing by Melody Carlson
During World War 2, Amelia is left alone with her young baby, Jimmy, and is determined to help her baby find a better life. Amelia is a young beautician who falls upon hard times after Jimmy's dad is shot down over the Pacific. Now that it is Christmastime, Amelia takes Jimmy to meet his paternal grandparents and make a better life for Jimmy. Amelia is hopeful and has worked hard to secure a new life. Their adventure to a new life begins on a train ride as The Christmas Blessing begins.
While I am reading it a little early, The Christmas Blessing would be an uplifting read for the upcoming Christmas season. This book is a short novella so it doesn't take long to read.At the same time, because it is a short book, the plot moves along quickly and a lot happens in a short amount of time. It is a feel good read that has a happy ending. Sometimes in this busy, difficult world, it is nice to just go to a place where everything works out nicely in the end, like The Christmas Blessing. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting a feel-good novel.
I received an electronic copy of The Christmas Blessing through NetGalley and Revell Reads. I was not required to write a positive review in exchange for the book.
