There is nothing light and fluffy about this book. This could read like a nonfiction book of someone's life. Very realistic times here. A beautiful heartwarming Christmas saga of young 17 year old Kathleen heavily pregnant and on the run from a bad living situation. She just wants a warm place to rest for a bit from the frigid cold. Just when she can't go on and collapses in the arms of a young man. Set up on the farm owned by Jessie and her two sons Danny and Sam in the beautiful Kent countryside. Both sons fall for her but one already has a girlfriend that he ends up marrying. Full of good times and hardships. I really enjoy these true to life historicals.

The Winter Baby by Sheila Newberry is a historical novel that sweeps readers back to Kent in 1903. Kathleen Clancy is pregnant, confused and lost. Kathleen ends up being rescued by the Mason family. She suffered blows to the head which has caused memory loss. Jessie Mason takes in Kathleen and treats her like one of her own. Danny and Sam Mason are Jessie’s two sons who are each smitten with Kathleen. Danny has been courting Marion and feels he needs to honor his commitment to her. Kathleen has a little girl that she names Heather Mary and finds a home on the farm. But someone is searching for Kathleen. Where did Kathleen come from and what happened to her? The road to happiness and love is full of bumps and twists, but it is always worth the journey. To find out what happens to Kathleen, read The Winter Baby.
The Winter Baby is nicely written and well researched. I felt that Ms. Newberry captured the era in The Winter Baby. I did not feel any emotion associated with the characters or their story. I wish she had provided more feeling and depth. The pace of the story is slow which made the story drag for me. The Winter Baby had potential that was not fully realized. I did appreciate the epilogue. It is easy to predict how the story will finish after reading a few chapters. While I do not feel The Winter Baby is Sheila Newberry’s best work, it will not stop me from picking up her future novels.

Podría haber sido mucho mejor. Ésa es la sensación con la que me he quedado al acabar este libro. A pesar de ser en inglés y de tener casi 400 páginas, lo he leído en apenas 3 días, así que es indudable que me ha enganchado. Tiene un lenguaje sencillo y siempre está pasando algo, así que sabe mantener la atención, pero creo que debería haber profundizado más en los personajes y en determinadas cosas que suceden.
Kathleen, la protagonista, tiene 17 años y camina sin rumbo buscando un refugio. Es el año 1903 y ya casi es navidad, pero Kathleen no sabe qué va a ser de ella, está embarazada y se intuye que ha escapado de algo grave. Cuando cree que no puede más, llega a una granja y es acogida por Jessie y sus dos hijos, Danny y Sam. Danny tiene 18 años y Sam 22, así que la llegada de una chica de edad similar a la de ellos trastoca sus vidas. ¿Qué significa eso? Pues sí, lo que estáis pensando, ambos se enamoran de Kathleen y una de las incógnitas iniciales es ver si Kathleen le corresponde a alguno.
Mi problema fue que todo se desarrolla con demasiada rapidez. Los días pasan a gran velocidad y me resultó imposible creerme los sentimientos que surgen entre los distintos personajes. Entiendo lo de que Kathleen había pasado por cosas duras, pero actuaba de una forma un poco egoísta, ya que al principio parecía estar jugando con los hermanos y creo que le daba igual uno que otro, lo que quería era una pareja. En todo caso, y sé que puede resultar raro, no llegó a caerme mal, más que nada porque lo que pasaba no era raro, sencillamente es que me dejaba una sensación agridulce porque era como si me estuviera perdiendo los mejores momentos entre Kathleen y los chicos. Lo que sí que me gustó es que nunca hay engaños, más allá de que dé la impresión de que no hay enamoramientos bien fundamentados, los personajes no se traicionan entre sí, todos saben cómo están las cosas y en base a eso toman sus decisiones.
Mi favorito era Sam, era serio y considero que resultaba misterioso en los primeros capítulos, pero luego perdió parte de su encanto. Además, me daba pena que en ocasiones no le dejaran hablar. Cuando quería contar algo que para él era interesante, los demás se ponían a bostezar o le decían que se callara porque no estaban para escucharle en ese momento. No es que lo trataran mal, pero creo que no mostraba más de sí porque no lo dejaban. Danny era más parecido a Kathleen, mostraba más claramente lo que sentía y lo único que le impedía ser más atrevido era que estaba atado a un compromiso.
Aunque ellos 3 son los que centran mayormente la atención, hay otros personajes como Jessie, Marion (el amor de toda la vida de Danny), la madre de Marion y un doctor que hacen buenas aportaciones a la trama. Al igual que con los protagonistas, lo malo de ellos es que tampoco se profundiza bien en lo que sienten ante determinados comportamientos de los protagonistas.
El tema romántico se aclara mucho antes de llegar a la mitad, pero hasta el final se ve que una elección no hace que todo el mundo olvide lo anterior.
La historia comienza en 1903 y acaba en 1926. A lo largo de todos esos años se ven amores y desamores, secretos que surgen y secretos que se desvelan, nacimientos que provocan alegrías y nacimientos que alejan a algunos personajes, una guerra que lo cambia todo y el relato de unas vidas cuyo final resulta ligeramente imprevisible.
No es la novela del año, le faltó arriesgar más y que se notara el dramatismo de ciertos sucesos, pero sabe atrapar y en personajes como Kathleen se nota una evolución.

A historical novel, telling the tale of Kathleen and her
acceptance into the Mason family, and the family's travails through the early 1900s and over the First World War.
A lovely read, although occasionally felt rushed/glossed over. Enjoyable.

Soon after dawn the young woman left Pilgrim’s Way and the Downs. But she got lost again. It was late afternoon by the time she came to the junction of five roads. The young woman took one of the unmade roads and saw a farmhouse in the distance- home- she was almost home. Then she realized she was being followed by a man she tried to run and fell.The young woman was so weary she didn’t try to get up or cry out. She had reached her journey’s end. Then the man takes his cap off. The young woman wonders if it is an angel. He offered to help then picks her up and starts toward the farmhouse then he yells to his mother they had a visitor. The woman introduced herself as Jessie Mason. Then Jessie said the man who helped her was Jessie's youngest son Danny. The young woman said her name was Kit then said Kathleen The woman was going to clean Kathleen up and put salve on and bandage her feet. When Jessie removed the young woman's long skirt her legs were bruised as were her arms as if someone had restrained her. There were also raised red welts on Kathleen’s back. Jessie also knew Kathleen was very pregnant Jessie’s daughter Mary had died about this young woman's age but now she had another young woman to look after and maybe she would stay. Kathleen was now in England. A vet had come to look at the animals. But they asked him to look at Kathleen as he had once been a human doctor before he had ran from his country and ended up in England, the man was Jewish. The doctor said Kathleen was between seventeen and eighteen. The doctor felt Kathleen was eight months pregnant. Also Kathleen had suffered blows to her head and they seemed to have affected her memory. Kathleen found a pile of clothes on the chair that Jessie had left her- that had been Mary’s. Also there was some baby clothes as Mary had a late miscarriage when Mary was about six years old. Then Kathleen went to the bundle she had been carrying and looked through it. There was: a framed picture of Kathleen’s parents, a prayer book, a rosary, her birth certificate and her parents marriage certificate in a brown envelope. She also found her mother’s wedding ring from her first marriage on a silver chain. A small package of love letters with a red silk rose, the letters had been written by her father when her parents were courting.Then there was a ragdoll Kathleen had dearly loved when she was a child. Last there was a leather pouch with her mother’s brush and comb. When Jessie asked Kathleen about her parents, Kathleen teared up so Jessie dropped the subject and helped Kathleen downstairs. Jessie offered to let Kathleen stay until after the baby was born if not longer. Then Kathleen went into labor and clung to Danny. Kathleen had a baby girl and named her Heather Mary- after her mom and Jessie’s daughter. Danny told the midwife he was the father but Danny already had Marion and they had grown up together and the last year they had been talking of a future together. Danny and Sam are both attracted to Kathleen.
I enjoyed this book a lot. . I loved how Jessie took in a stranger who had been misused and was pregnant and couldn’t remember a lot. I was glad when Marion and Danny married as they had already talked about it. I also loved how Jessie considered Heather her grandchild right away and continued to let Kathleen stay. This was very realistic of the time as far as I am concerned. It drag for me at times. But this was a very good historical novel. I did like the plot also. I liked the characters and the ins and outs of this book and I recommend.

We follow Kathleen from the moment she stumbles in the snow, 9 months pregnant running away from her abuser, as she comes to Home Farm and finds a new family with Jessie, Danny and Sam.
It was quite amazing how much time was covered in this book- by the end little baby Heather was all grown with 2 children of her own! It was a love triangle of both brothers loving Kathleen and whilst she married Sam she always loved Danny.
Through the was Danny’s wife Marion passed away from trench fever and Sam died too. In the end Danny and Kathleen married with Sam’s blessing. I’m not sure I believe the brothers being so accepting of both loving Kathleen.
Seeing the dynamics of the families and how situations change over the years was fascinating, and weirdly stressful. I feel like ‘that’s life!’ Is the best summary of the book.
I was excited to pick this book up at points and oddly found it stressful. I dunno. Very interesting idea covering so much ground in one book though. Recommended by Nana I’m glad I read it to the end.

Kathleen
Here again Shelly Newberry has taken another journey within the war time and the lives it effected, plus how the folks dealt with it for all those years in which it raged. I loved the simplicity of the Christmas Gifts that were given, hand made with such love. Also how those who lost loved ones, how they had to continue with what very little they had. We need to always remember, so many men and women, millions who never returned home, buried in those far away countries where they died, many in unmarked graves. They widows, their children, such a devastating time in our history. This is what makes this story so emotional, one needs a box of tissues to be able to get through this novel as you are here, with these people, seeing, feeling, all that they too are dealing with. To bring you into this story so deeply, is what makes for a great read.

Set in the early 1900’s, a young heavily pregnant Kathleen is walking half frozen in a storm when she stumbles upon Home Farm.
She is taken in by the lovely Jessie and her 2 sons Danny and Sam. Upon learning of her condition, Jessie adopts Kathleen into the family and falls in love. But the path of love never does run smooth...
I found this book a lovely little read especially in the approach to winter. Whilst not a particularly ‘christmassy’ book as such, this story depicts the hardship of life back then, and in the oncoming WW1 and how hard women had it as well as the men.
The book was well researched in its customs and events that went on during this time, and it flowed easily.
I would like to thank Readers First for a copy of this book in exchange for a review.

The Winter Baby is a family saga set in the early 1900s, centered around the family goings on at Home Farm. The story starts when a young Irish girl, Kathleen, is found wandering nearby and taken into the farm.
I struggled to understand the romantic relationships in the book, and it felt like people fell in love too quickly. I also felt that the writing around these relationships was a bit emotionless; however, I do wonder if this is due to the time period the book is set.
Overall I liked the book, and the characters grew on me over time. I found that the first 100 pages or so went a little slowly, but the pace quickened and by the end of the book I really did enjoy following what happened to the family.

I love wartime saga stories and this was great. I have never read this author's books before but I definitely will again.
The Winter Baby is a beautifully written wartime story of family and friendship. It is an easy read with a charming storyline and excellent characters. Heartbreaking in places, but a satisfying heartwarming read with a lovely ending.
Such a delight! I can't wait to read more from Sheila Newberry.

If I could give this less I would do so. Borrowed whilst on holiday and it was so trite, the characters were all one dimensional. The idea of brothers being in love with the same girl and at times said girl being ambivalent towards either brother all sheer nonsense. The number of characters introduced towards the end was unbelievable I neither cared or bothered to follow. Just grateful I didn't buy this book, only reason I finished it was I had nothing else to read.

I had a bit of a hard time getting into this book, but once I did I couldn't put it down. It was not a light and fluffy book as I had been expecting, but the family drama was well written. A few shocking moments but overall a good read.

As the story begins, in 1903, seventeen year old Kathleen, pregnant and homeless, stumbles through the snow and is found and rescued by a kind family that has two brothers who both fall in love with her. The story follows the family through World War I and afterwards. The historical part of the story is interesting and informative.

I thought this story sounded very interesting but in the end I did not like the writing style or the characters. I also don't enjoy when some of the main characters die.

What a lovely book. Perfect for Winter and set mainly around many Christmases. Easy to read however I got confused who little Jimmy was as I thought he was named as a baby Sam?!! Maybe I missed something or it was an error. Still it was a very moving story and gave me a few tears.
