A Christmas of Healing  
  
It is December of 1932, just one year after the Worthams and the Hammonds lost both a dear mother and a selfless friend in one terrible night. What would certainly be a bittersweet occasion turns to crisis when George Hammond disappears, leaving his many children worried and alone.  
  
Can Julia Wortham restore hope and joy to so many forlorn children? With too many mouths, too little money, and a mysterious illness taking hold of some of the children, she has her doubts that God will pull them through.  
  
But she wasn't counting on the miracle of a simple, paper nativity.

Prior to her untimely death in 2011, __Leisha Kelly__ was the author of several bestselling historical fiction books, including Julia's Hope, Emma's Gift, and Katie's Dream. She served many years on her local library board and was active in the ministries of her church.

"Wearily, I went on to bed, glad for the opportunity to rest my head on the soft pillow, even though the bed itself wasn't such a comfort with the mattress pulled off and  
lying in the next room. But tonight I knew I was too tired to care much about that. I figured I'd be asleep almost instantly. But my foot sliding beneath the sheets seemed to find something that didn't belong. Reaching down with one hand I found what felt like a roll of paper. Thankfully, Samuel hadn't blown out the candle yet, or I might have crumpled it without thinking. In the dim light, I could see what it was. Franky's little paper baby Jesus. How he'd gotten in our bed, I might never know."

It is December of 1932, just one year after the Worthams and the Hammonds lost Wilametta Hammond and Emma Graham in one terrible night. The Christmas spirit seems largely absent again this year. George Hammond has disappeared, and Julia Wortham's house is filled to overflowing with the Hammond children, several of whom are coming down with a mysterious illness. As Christmas nears, the children's homemade nativity scene takes on a life of its own, bringing comfort in the midst of uncertainty and hard times.  
This heartfelt novella lets readers share Christmas with the Worthams and the Hammonds and discover the strength of faith, love, and family.

Fans of Julia's Hope and Emma's Gift will delight in this touching tale of a Wortham family Christmas, set in the 1930s.

Kelly, Leisha
