A Wonderful Christmas Story!!!!

An Angel On Main Street by Kathi Oram Peterson I have so enjoyed reading Christmas books this past few weeks and this little charmer hits a home run. An Angel On Main Street is about young Micah Connors, who wants to do everything he can to save his younger sister, Annie, who is very ill with a life threatening illness. With he, Annie and his mom just moved to a new town after his dad had died in the Korean War, he is seeing someone mysteriously putting up a large Nativity set in the middle of town. Micah seems to be angered over Sheriff Anderson's interest in his mother, and doesn't want that to happen. He gets worried as he sees more and more of the Nativity being set up, as he has promised to get the baby Jesus for his sister. He thinks he's got the needed money to buy a baby doll for his sister, but loses it before he really has it. It's not until he starts praying that things seem to fall into place and that a certain person is not who he appears to be, as looks and situations can be deceiving. Micah's sister had the faith to believe in the baby Jesus, and it would be that way for Micah as well. This little Christmas charmer will be a classic and should make a wonderful Hallmark film.

A beautiful Christmas story.

All Micah wants to do is take care of his mother and his sister, but he seems to attract trouble, even as he tries to avoid it, no matter how hard he tries. He misses his father, wishes his mother didn't have to work so hard for so little, and is afraid his sister Annie will die from the side-effects of rheumatic fever. Annie loves looking out the window and watching the mysterious nativity take shape in town. In her simple faith, she believes that when the baby Jesus arrives in the manger she can get better. As Micah searches for a way to make his little sister happy, he learns an important lesson about life and judging others. From a crusty, soft-hearted sheriff and a town tramp with hidden secrets, Micah also learns that angels are real and are often not only people you know, but people you least suspect. At once tender and heart warming, this is a beautiful Christmas story about love, service and faith in God. You'll shed a few tears, but you'll also be left thinking about the angels in your own life.
