Kritters Thoughts: Let me first say that I am all for a cheesy Christmas hallmark movie, so I am glad to try out a few of these shorter stories that are a little too long to be novellas, but short and sweet for the holidays.
This one is historical as it takes place in 1944 and Amelia Richards met a man just as he is shipped off and after he is gone she realizes she is pregnant. She ends up finding him on the deceased list from the war and she has almost nothing to her name. She sets out on an adventure to find his family and hopefully find some emotional and physical help.
I loved Amelia and her pursuit for help and to find family. I loved that I wondered how often these stories actually happened at this time and how many women found themselves on this same quest to find some family that may not know they exist and their connections.
My big question that I still haven't answered is, did I enjoy the ending and I am not sure. I can't say too much because I don't want to spoil a thing, but I am just not sure that it satisfied me.
Rating: enjoyable, but didn't leave me wanting more
