A rather lder book - out of print now. If the message was to be a giving heart and a realization of what Chritmas should really mean n your heart, this book really didn't make muster. The three different people of hugely different backgrounds did not feel true, indeed fanciful, and I didn't feel the author ended up tying together the effects of the Christmas Eve service on any of the characters. You are left with question abaout at least two of the characters. Basically, it was unfulfilling.
