The second story - A Family's Christmas Wish - features a carpenter, Owen, who decides to take a job at an inn helping out Sarah, the owner, in exchange for babysitting for his daughter. Owen is getting ready to leave town, a year after losing his wife has taken a new job far away, but his daughter and Sarah's daughter have other ideas in mind.
My Thoughts: So, I was feeling the Christmas spirit and decided to read this little anthology... and I sort of reached the conclusion that the Love Inspired line isn't really for me.
I found the first story a bit on the dull side and it took me a good long while to get into it. I liked the second story a lot more but it could have been developed a bit better, it was too short and a little choppy.
