The Christmas light / Donna VanLiere.

Summary:

"In the small town of Grandon, five very different people discover the true meaning of Christmas. Jennifer and Ryan are both single parents, struggling with their own losses and heartache. Sixteen-year-old Kaylee is faced with a life-changing situation that has affected her whole family. Stephen and Lily are happily married and ready to start a family. All of them are facing their own struggles, and all are finding their way through the dark. When they are brought together for a rather unconventional church Nativity, they will learn that with strength, courage, and love, there is always hope. "-- Provided by publisher.

    The eighth inspirational tale in VanLiere's "Christmas Hope" series (The Christmas Note) is full of heartache and promise. Jennifer and Ryan are single parents, each with a young daughter. When Ryan's Aunt Gloria and her friend Miriam are roped into staging the annual church Nativity play, they soon solicit family, friends, and strangers to participate, bringing Jennifer and Ryan together. Trying to overcome their painful pasts and find some holiday spirit will be a challenge, and they're not the only ones in town with difficult decisions to make. By Christmas, happy endings and beginnings are in sight. VERDICT Get out your handkerchiefs. VanLiere touchingly induces Christmas spirit and tears that will satisfy her many readers.
