A Christmas Journey

Two journeys, two continents, one grieving couple.

It has been a year since Amanda and Chris Vance lost their child and the same amount of time since Amanda has been able to perform her job as an Ob-gyn nurse. When her neighbor, Emily, unexpectedly suggests Amanda join her on a trip to Israel, Amanda agrees in spite of her reservations.

Left at home, Chris Vance is dealing with life.  He misses the girl he married since Amanda has changed so much in the last year as she tries to deal with her grief.  His job is on the line since the company he works for is hanging by a thread.  And, he is helping his neighbor, Emily's husband.  In Amanda's absence, Chris' life takes on some pretty big changes.

Little did Amanda dream that the true beginning of her healing would take place in the land of her Savior's birth. Through reaching out to help another in need, Amanda begins the journey of  mending both her heart and her marriage.  Could the prayer of a stranger she met at the Wailing Wall be the answer to her prayers?

Prayers of a Stranger by Davis Bunn is a sweet, simple story that captures the spirit of Christmas.  It did take me a bit of time to get into the story but, by the middle, I couldn't wait to see how the relationships would resolve themselves, or if they would.  I would recommend Prayers of a Stranger for a Christmas read this season.  Make certain you check out Davis Bunn's other work as well.

I did receive this book free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review and was in no way obligated to leave a postitive review.
