Mari Tatum has been with her boyfriend Shay McNabb for 6 months and she loves him. Shay pressures Mari to have sex and despite stopping twice & thinking about her morals, she gives in. But now, that one moment of pleasure turned to the development of a baby inside her. The last person Mari wants to see is Shay but she has to  because they're both in the Christmas play. After being sick for a while, fainting, vomiting, and not eating, Mari's mom takes Mari to the doctor. The doctor knows Mari is pregnant and gives her an ultimatum; tell your parents before Wednesday (the next appointment) or I, the doctor, will. How will she tell Shay? What will Shay say? Will Shay leave her? What about her parents? What will they say?  How will she tell her parents that she went against the morals taught as a child and that she's pregnant at age 16?I was team Mari all the way. She was scared having this baby and what her family & Shay will say. Shay was sorry that he did this to Mari and for everything. Once they had to act out this Christmas play, they both felt it wasn't meaningful....at first. But then, they realized something very important that changed the whole story.In this story, Suzanne showed three major life values:A) She showed that going against your morals can cause grief just like Mari & Shay felt. But all you have to do is ask God for His forgiveness and He'll forgive you no matter how big or small the sin.B) A child is a miracle "that came to earth..." and that all children should be loved and cared for no matter how or under what circumstances they were born to the world.C) Just how Mary & Joesph had to travel to Bethlehem, were probably scared but took on God's promise and had Christ, with God always with them, Mari & Shay are scared but with God & His forgiveness, they'll make it through.A Miracle for Mari is a beautiful Christmas-Holiday story that will make your heart feel warm and get you to the true holiday spirit.
