Christmas When Catherine Dornan's husband, Tom, is diagnosed with leukemia, she and their two young sons travel with him to New York during the holiday season for a lifesaving operation. On Christmas Eve, hoping to lift the boys' spirits, Catherine takes them to see Rockefeller Center's famous Christmas tree; while there, seven-year-old Brian notices a woman taking his mother's wallet. A St. Christopher medal tucked inside the wallet saved his grandfather's life in World War II, and Brian believes with all his heart that it will protect his father now. Impulsively, Brian follows the thief into the subway, and the most dangerous adventure of his young life begins. A special Christmas story about the power of love, and a child's courage and faith. A family visiting a very sick Dad on Christmas Eve takes a very dangerous turn when mom drops her wallet at Rockefeller Center and another lady picks it up and walks away. Brian, the oldest son, follows the lady to retrieve mom's wallet back because it has lots of money in it and his Grandpa's St. Christopher medal. The same medal that saved his life in WWII and which Brian believed would save his own Dad's life. Ramping up for Christmas and getting into the holiday mood but lets throw in a bit of suspense in the mix. As in many Christmas mysteries, there's struggle, redemption, hope and suspense. As most are novellas, they're often short. This book was all of those things. For me, most novellas always leave me feeling a bit cheated. I long for greater character development and backstory. But if it's a quick read you're seeking for a cozy Christmas dinner sit by the fire, then this would certainly fit the bill. I certainly enjoyed the story and hope you will too. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
