The Christmas of '45By Mills Crenshaw
Bonneville Books, 2010. 167 pgs. Fiction
On Christmas Eve in 1945, David, who will turn six the following day, is missing his recently deceased mother and doesn't understand why she can't come back to him. Since he's been told that she's gone to be with Jesus, he sets out in search of Jesus in order to ask for his own Christmas miracle. As he wanders off in a storm, trying to find to Jesus, his father and other townspeople are trying to find him before it's too late.
This book is filled with flat, stereotypical characters and the writing tends to be overly flowery, and yet, those who are in the mood for a heartwarming Christmas story will be reaching for the tissue box as David tries to find Jesus. It's cheesy, but it's also a feel-good story for those in need of a little Christmas cheer.
