A Christmas Wish: The holiday prequel to Goodnight, Brian - Steven Manchester

A Christmas Wish: The holiday prequel to Goodnight, Brian
Love the author's other works that I've read and reviewed and know this one will be among the set. Down to earth family living with no drama.
Each of the children were taught at an early age to make a wish for Christmas and how to make it happen for them.
Steph is now in college and thinks she may be in love...she tells her grandmother of the chance meeting..
Brian has overcome some of the damage done and continues to live because of the attention his grandmother gives him and she won't take the doctors word.
She is determined Brian will overcome his disease. Mama takes Brian to her old neighborhood in the Italian section of Boston and they reminisce of how life was so hard when she was growing up, while they walk through the snow.
Love how she gets 2 turkeys and leaves one for a patron of the church that will need it most. Love the paying it forward. Detailed descriptions of sounds and smells and sights that make you feel as if you are there with them.
Book also comes with an excerpt from Goodnight, Brian.
