Blurb for The Gift: A Christmas Miracle


Julie wants only one gift this holiday season, but it’s going to take a Christmas miracle to make her wish come true. 
Julie Hamilton loves Christmas. It’s her favorite time of year, from the cinnamon smell of freshly baked mince-pies to the excitement of buying gifts for family and friends, decorating the tree, and hanging stockings for Santa Claus on the mantelpiece. 
This Christmas promises to be extra special because she’s expecting the perfect gift--her first baby--on Christmas Eve. 
However, a chance encounter turns her world upside down, and soon, she’s praying for her very own Christmas miracle. 
Can the spirit of the Christmas season and the kindness of strangers find a way to make her wish come true?

My Review


As a general rule I prefer novels to novellas, simply because there’s more opportunity to develop the characters and develop a story. I needn’t have worried here though as Joanne Clancy has managed to pack all the emotion of a full length novel into a quick coffee break read. My heart was literally beating faster as I turned the pages to find out the ending. It’s a little different from the usual Christmas offerings and for that reason it also appealed to me. Joanne has managed to achieve in just a few pages what some novelists do in 260. A great read and a heartwarming story. Put it on your Christmas list!

5/5
