Hmm.let me see if I can straighten out my thoughts on this one. But I enjoyed the likable baby, nurse, and doctor. It is a Christian romance and there are so many Christmas hymns and Bible quotes - they sometimes felt redundant and interrupted the flow. ![]() ![]() I guess their relationship developed too fast. A good basic plot, but the last half of the book was a bit boring and sometimes too sugary. They fall in love, get married, and baby makes three.

Set during the Christmas season in a big city, probably New York or Philadelphia, given that the characters think Wisconsin is far out west. This classic holiday baby romance was published in 1940.
