Will Margaret's prayers for a child of her own be answered this Christmas or does God have something else in store?

After five years of marriage, Margaret's prayers for a baby have gone unanswered. When she and her husband, Thomas travel to Boston to help his ailing father, Margaret happens upon a desperate young woman, sick and lying in the street heavy with child. Unable to simply ignore the woman, Margaret makes the decision to take the woman in.

Condemned for her decision to help a woman of ill repute, Margaret does what she knows is right—even if doing the right thing sometimes has life-altering consequences.

A beautiful story!

I purchased this novella before Christmas, but I didn't get to read it until today. The story of Christ's birth and sacrifice is a wonderful story at any time, and Annette O'Hare weaves it beautifully throughout this tale. Margaret, the main character, is a selfless soul and sacrifices her own needs to care for everyone around her.
She is the person we are all called to be. I loved that she is rewarded for her good works at the end of the story!

Child of Light is a beautiful story of unconditional love and sacrifice. Set in post-Civil War Boston, Child of Light tells the story of Margaret, who is willing to sacrifice almost everything to help another. A heartwarming tale of God's faithfulness and love, this novella is a perfect read for the Christmas season.

What a perfect book to read at Christmas. Or anytime you want to rekindle the holiday spirit. Annette captured the hustle and bustle of the season, but she also showed how her characters looked past themselves to find the true meaning of Christmas. Loved it!!!

Sweet holiday novella set in old Boston

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 1, 2018

Child of Light is a precious tale of a woman who gives everything of herself to others, yet is denied her heart’s desire for a child of her own. In the harshness of rebuilding society after America’s Civil War, Margaret, a southern girl, spends fall and Christmas of 1870 with her Yankee husband’s family in Boston, helping them in ways that tear her heartstrings. Her father-in-law was injured on the job and reluctantly, if cheerfully, accepts her help, only to remind her of the happy home she left in Texas. Her sister-in-law is expecting a fourth child and accepts Margaret’s help caring for the household. Though happy to help, her nieces and nephew remind her of the emptiness of her cradle. Even the news from home hurts when Margaret learns her younger newly married sister is going to have a baby.

When Margaret, unlike others on the street, can’t bring herself to step over a woman obviously in need, she risks her job and the health of everyone around her with potential contagion by rendering aid. Margaret’s compassion in offering their home is rewarded in ways she never thought possible.

This sweet novella is told from Margaret’s point of view, and is a well-painted picture of historic Boston with its shortcomings and luxuries. Child of Light is just the right size for a quick holiday reading break.

Good Christmas read

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 22, 2018

I enjoyed the sweet meaning of Christmas all through this book. The setting in the post Civil War era was very good. Just long enough for a good read but short enough to enjoy during the Christmas season.
