Book Review: A Christmas Prayer by Kimberla Lawson Roby Aug 19

  




A Christmas Prayer by Kimberla Lawson Roby 
This story starts out with dedication page. Story starts on Black Friday and Alexis can't wait til holiday is done with already.
Her mother had passed away around the holiday and she just now prays the new year will come very soon.
Her fiancé, Chase takes his mother along her to dinner and most times the mother in law is hassling her about the death of her parents. He doesn’t see it as bad but it's every time.
She just wants to marry him and then the mother in law will find her own place.   She likes taking double sleeping pills to help get through the holidays, so she can sleep.
There are many verses quoted from the Bible. Her niece also has problems and calls her for help. 
Wonder how things will really work out if anything will. Priest steps in to aid them all in prayers.

This story is n 1857 in India where an enlisted man is left in charge of a trial for the one others all think killed another man.

He had helped a woman with her heavy bag so she could tend to young child with her. At her home there are other kids and he accepts a bright colorful chain as a thanks.
He has a feeling the man who died was the father of the family but he doesn't ask questions of her.

Amazing how he finds out the truth. it was all there in the clues from many others on duty that night.
Good story.
