Inspirational Romance
Before a tragic
accident claimed the lives of his wife and son, Jordan Baird
was a happily married, successful and admired college professor.
Grieving
and bitter towards God, Jordan withdrew from his old life and
from society,
to a secluded lakeside home where he can build kites and shake
his fist at
the heavens. One day, while flying one of his creations,
Jordan's private
space is encroached by a curious little boy and his mom who are
renting a
cabin nearby.
Meara Hayden is a recently widowed single mother to a son, Mac,
who was born
with Down Syndrome. Meara loves Mac with all of her heart and
recognizes
him as the Lord's blessing, but despite her strong faith she
still feels
extremely bitter towards her husband's family for their
rejection of Mac.
Now out on her own, Meara is fiercely determined to shield her
son from
experiencing any more hurt, whatever the source. Could this
desire to
protect Mac backfire instead?
Be sure and keep a box of tissues close at hand when you pick up
THE
CHRISTMAS KITE! Ms. Martin's fluid narrative and captivating
characters
will keep readers enthralled through every joy and sorrow until
the very
last word. The author's attention to detail with respect to Down
Syndrome
families further enhances the overall enjoyment.
Reading THE CHRISTMAS KITE became so much a part of me that I
really didn't
want the story to end. I was truly touched by the message of
forgiveness
and faith. The romance is sweet, gentle and believable-it would
make an
excellent choice for even the youngest of romance readers.
However, I would
not limit my recommendation to just romance fans. THE CHRISTMAS
KITE has
something to offer any reader and is sure to become a holiday
classic! |
