A Christmas Gift for Mary Jones by Kimberly B. Jackson is a delightful and most enjoyable story for the Christmas season or for any time of the year. Mary Jones is only forty-five but all the people in her small town call her Grandmother. Unfortunately, Mary has no children and her husband William has recently died. Teresa and her four-year-old daughter, Emma, appear on Mary’s porch and Teresa says that Mary’s late husband is her father. Mary happily takes Teresa and Emma into her home and treats them as her own. Teresa soon grabs the attention of Tom, the sheriff of the town. Emma is kidnapped by Teresa’s ex-husband and even though Tom is working to find Emma, Mary and Teresa realize that they need to stop relying on themselves and rely on God to help them find Emma.The author did a very good job in the development of the plot of the story. There were several twists and turns and each one just added interest to the story. Characters were so well developed that they came to life on the pages of the book. During all the scenes, I felt as if I were right in the middle of what was going on for they were so well written and the dialogue was always interesting and believable. The story grabbed my interest on the first page and held it until the last page. This was a great inspirational story that dealt with faith, love, suspense, romance, and family. And there was even some Christmas magic. I would like to have known if William was married to Teresa’s mother and was a widower when he married Mary.I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to read an inspiring and uplifting Christmas story that also includes romance and even some suspense..Prism Book Group provided me with a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
