The Christmas Wish

Sala’s 12th “Blessings, Georgia” novel (after Somebody To Love) is a Christmas romance set in the series’ small Georgia town called Blessings. Wade Montgomery has returned to Blessings to help his uncle run the feed store after an accident, and is surprised to run into his crush Birdie Knox, who happens to work for his uncle as a bookkeeper. After a misunderstanding is sorted out, Wade and Birdie become inseparable as Christmas approaches; in Blessing, Christmas is a time for miracles. Everyone in town is gearing up for the annual holiday parade, and Birdie finds herself the star of the feed store’s float. When Birdie runs into a young man she used to babysit, she discovers he’s back in town to clear his father’s name of a theft charge that sent him to prison 10 years before. As usual, everyone in Blessing gets involved in the plot, with some excitement and a helping of heavenly biscuits thrown in.
