Waiting for Christmas

A Novella

Audiobook
0 of 3 copies available
The year is 1901, and the hustle and bustle of the holidays is descending on New York's Fifth Avenue.
For the first time in her privileged life, Adelaide Forsythe couldn't be happier about the prospect of a quiet Christmas. That's not to say her transition from Missto Mrs. has been without challenge. Though she doesn't regret marrying for love instead of wealth, she feels woefully unprepared to run her own household.
Then, on the first Sunday of Advent, winter winds bring surprising change, first through a young orphan boy and then a seasoned housekeeper who seems too good to be true.
The boy, Jack, claims he isn't an orphan at all and is desperate to reunite his family. While Adelaide and her husband work tirelessly to solve the riddle of Jack's story, Adelaide's new endeavors open her eyes to a world beyond her past experience?and all the possibility it holds. As Christmas approaches, small glimmers
of wonder light the way toward the answers Adelaide seeks and the most miraculous gift of all.
