A Gift Like No Other
Book 4 of the O'Connor Christmas series
Faith O'Connor McGuire gave up her copywriting career for marriage and motherhood with the promise that she might return to it one day. When a chance to write for the Boston Herald finally arrives, Collin's longing for a full-time mother for their children puts their dreams in conflict. His own deprived childhood makes the disagreement more painful than either expected. This O'Connor Christmas companion follows an established couple learning how faith, family, and a woman's vocation might share the same future.
