'TIS THE SEASON
The fifth installment in Donna VanLiere's Christmas Hope series, The Christmas Secret, is about a struggling single mother who saves the life of an elderly woman. With Christine's ex-husband hardly providing any financial support for their two children, she works long hours as a waitress to make ends meet. But her job is in jeopardy because she's often late due to unreliable sitters. When Christine saves the life of a woman who works in Wilson's department store, the owner of Wilson's wants to find her, to thank her. He sets his grandson, Jason, to the task of finding the mysterious "Christy". And Jason soon discovers that this new task gives him more than he bargains for.
