I have to say, however, that I was disappointed by the ending. Of course complications arise and make for interesting reading. A baby appearing in a manger during the Christmas season is a sure sign from God, in her opinion, and this may be what she needs to move on. Stung from the loss of a son, James’ mother shuts down and doesn’t want anything to do with anyone until the baby shows up in the manger.
Amelia is down on her luck and it seems to get worse with each passing day, and she is sure that the only way to give her baby a better life is to give him up.
Even the coldest person has a good heart inside it just takes some digging to get there. True to Melody Carlson novels, this one is full of gut-wrenching decisions and heartfelt moments. She just hopes that James’ parents will take in Jimmy and find him a good home and that Amelia can move on with her life.
Desperate and broke, she decides to leave baby Jimmy in the manger that is part of the family’s outdoor Nativity scene. Word on the street is that James’ father is a doctor and salt-of-the-earth kind of guy, while his mother is a strict, cold woman who would fire a volunteer from the Red Cross for not folding bandages properly. She and Jimmy both develop a cold, and with her money and luck run out, she decides to visit the family sooner than originally anticipated. A series of mishaps befalls her on her journey from San Francisco to Montana, and she arrives just in time to spend Thanksgiving in a run-down motel. She is hoping they will accept her and her son despite the fact that she was not yet married to her baby’s father, James, who was killed in the War. Amelia Richards decides to go see her seven week old baby’s grandparents in Montana for Christmas. Melody Carlson continues her feel-good, sweet stories with the Christmas Blessing.
