Christmas Vows: $5.00 Extra (Heartquest)
In another addition to Tyndale's hardcover novella line, Ben  O'Keefe is down to his last dollar. Hope flew out the window  miles before his beat-up car broke down, but with three small  children counting on him as their sole support, he can't give  up. A recent parolee, Ben was released early because his wife  was killed in an accident, and there was no one else to take the  kids. But home had too many memories of lost love, and now it  looks as if he won't make it to his mother's house with the kids  for Christmas either. When he finds himself snowbound at a  wedding parlor where "Christmas vows cost $5.00 extra," he  doesn't realize that this is the first step in God's plan to  show him the true meaning of Christmas and help him come to  terms with his past, present, and future. By the author of Child  of Grace, this charming tale is in the same spirit as Anne  Osborne Poelman's Secret Santa (LJ 11/1/00).Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
