Light the Dark

By Christy Barritt

Nine months pregnant, Hope Solomon is on the run and fearing for her life. Desperate for warmth, food, and shelter, she finds what looks like an abandoned house. Inside, she discovers a Christmas that's been left behind-complete with faded decorations on a brittle Christmas tree and dusty stockings filled with loss.Someone spies smoke coming from the chimney of the empty house and alerts Dr. Luke Griffin, the owner. He rarely visits the home that harbors so many bittersweet memories for him. But no one is going to violate the space so near and dear to his heart.Then Luke meets Hope, and he knows this mother-to-be desperately needs help. With no room at any local inn, Luke invites Hope to stay, unaware of the danger following her. While running from the darkness, the embers of Christmas present are stirred with an unexpected birth and a holiday romance. But will Hope and Luke live to see a Christmas future?

Enjoyable Christmas Novella

Enjoyed this Christmas Novella. There is not alot of suspense as everything happens in about 48 hour span. I did enjoy how the ending mirrored the Nativity. Overall it was a good read. Things may have moved at almost unrealistic speed but still enjoyable.

On the Run

I received the e-book version of this book just a couple of days before Thanksgiving, and with traveling over the long week-end, I didn't have time to get started. So, after the turkey and stuffing was eaten and the dishes done, I sat down to read this sweet Christmas novella. It was a quick, fun read on a Thanksgiving afternoon while the rest of the family napped. Hope is on the run from someone she thought she could trust, feeling alone and scared since she is 8 and 1/2 months pregnant, and has no money or food or a place to stay. She feels like God is far away and that He doesn't really care about her but He is still working in her life, bringing together two hurting people who could help each other heal. I loved the parallels to the Nativity Story. The only downside was, I wish it were longer! I received a free copy of this book, but the opinions are my own.
