The Christmas Prayer

A Christian Christmas short story -

Widower Royce Hilliard has been praying for a new wife, someone who will love him and his twelve-year old daughter, Jen. He doesn't know Jen is praying the same prayer. Beautiful, down-to-earth Noelle Barker seems to be the answer to both their prayers. But Noelle doesn't believe she is mother material, even though she grows to love both Jen and Royce. She allows the ghost of her Christmas past to sabotage her happiness. Will Royce look elsewhere for a new wife or follow his faith and heart? Is Noelle indeed the answer to The Christmas Prayer?
