Shawna Williams has written a wonderful Christmas story about adoption that is set during the Great Depression, though the hopefulness of being adopted is a daily reality for children living in an orphanage, especially for those who are crippled.Pastor David Langley's childhood is a poignant reminder set within this story, making for a double-edged sword in the placement of Caleb when an original adoption falls through.  Rules are broken in desperation, but are picked up on when those in charge of the orphanage find out the details.Shawna's story is one of love, warmth, care, and concern of the town spinster, Sadie Miller, for Caleb, which is set against the rigidity, rules, and criminal activities of certain parties in the orphanage. Since single parenting was forbidden, Sadie and Pastor David set out on a plan to work out the complications. For those wanting to adopt, this is a heart-warming story of the depths of persistence an adoptive parent is willing to forge through to overcome the regulations that hinder single parent involvement.The camaraderie between Pastor David and Caleb bypasses outward appearances for personal reasons.  And the hints of romance keep you intrigued about the relationship between the town spinster and the single Pastor, as tongues are wagging in their small town.This eBook was provided free by the author, Shawna K.
