Ben, who is a decent man who out of desperation robs a store and is put in jail for 18 months. When he is released, he has three children, one born while he was incarerated, conceived right before he is jailed, and a wife who has died. He tries to take his children to his Mother's house in time for Christmas and to make a new life for him and his family.

Ben drives a beat up Mercury car that is in dire need for repairs and breaks down in a little town. He knocks on the door of a house that is a small wedding chapel. The proprietor, is a slightly cranky old lady by the name of Henrietta. After telling his story the woman lets him in and the children, and a mangy dog that they happened to pick up on their travels. While the car is being repaired, the children and Ben make a few memories of playing in the snow and trying to get themselves back on track for being a family.

The setting takes place during the Christmas holidays and Ben doesn't know how he can afford presents for his children and fix his car so that he can travel to his Mother's house. The townspeople gather together and fix Ben's car and with that they mend Ben's faith in people and how we all could use alittle help sometime. The folks in town also gathered some presents for the children so that the children had faith in
that "Santa" still finds children who are moving and who have left their home looking for a new life.

Heart warming story.

I fell in love with the marrying parlor as soon as I began to read this book, and you will, too. Lori Copeland shines in this story, and this novella would make the perfect Christmas gift for anyone who enjoys a warm and heart-warming read.

Christmas Vows $5.00 Extra is a heart warming special story with special characters. I picked up this book to read today, Christmas eve, 2011, and so glad I did. Lori Copeland never disappoints me with her wonderful stories. This one tells of the true meaning of Christmas. Loving one another and the love of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
