Twilight Christmas: A Carolina Coast Novella (Carolina Coast Novels) (Volume 3)

By Normandie Fischer

Description:

Two orphans. One barn. And a community in need of miracles. Linney needs protecting, and Louis is the only one left to save her. She may be his big sister, but her Down Syndrome will get her put in an institution if he doesn’t hide her well. Only, it’s getting harder and harder to pretend he’s older than ten and to keep her safe and warm in this old storage barn. Especially at Christmas, when all his sister wants is a tree with lights, like the one at the church next door. Pageant preparations are in full swing, and Annie Mac and her crew are involved in the excitement. So is Lieutenant Clay Dougherty, her kids' faux-father and the man who still makes her yearn for a whole lot more than she’s comfortable offering, especially when she's plagued by crazy-making nightmares. In this heartwarming tale of magic and miracles, the Beaufort, North Carolina, folk return to rescue more than themselves.

Book Takeaway:

God's plans are so much greater than ours.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wanted to complete the love story from Heavy Weather, but mostly I wrote it because the story of the two orphans came to me, fully formed, and I just had to tell it. That's never happened before, and words slid from my thoughts onto the screen with such ease that I finished the draft in just two weeks. I love writing about children, and the little brother who took care of his Down Syndrome old sister blessed me.
