Description:
A cold night in Texas, a dream of marriage, a happily ever after....
Single mom Amber Richardson spends every holiday season working to give her young son the best Christmas possible and striving to ignore the empty chairs around her table, chairs she wishes her mother and father and extended family occupied.
She'd hoped that this holiday would be fuller and happier than the rest. Her handsome firefighter boyfriend, Will McGrath, has brought immeasurable joy and love into her life. Up until recently, they'd even been talking about a future that included wedding bells. Lately, though, the wedding talk has been nonexistent and Amber can’t help but worry that Will's starting to have second thoughts....
Until a fire station surprise brings very good tidings.

My Review:
I'm finding that I love these little snippets to tide me over between novels. With a short story, the details about a certain event can be very vivid.
In this short story, Amber, a single mom, is on her way to the fire station to give her boyfriend his cell phone and has a tire blowout. Her thoughts turn to her son and the upcoming Christmas holiday and she thinks a lot about December 20th -- December 20th isn't a good day to die. As she walks the mile to the fire station, she reflects on her life.
The surprise awaiting her brought tears to my eyes and a smile to my face. This is definitely a sweet, heartwarming story.
Content: mild-moderate religious elements, as it's a Christian fiction; mild romantic elements. Clean!
