After reading the stories about their children in Julie Lessman’s\u00a0 Winds of Change<\/em><\/strong> and Daughters of Boston<\/em><\/strong> series, I was delighted to have a chance to read Marcy and Patrick’s story in “A Light in the Window. It was all I have come to expect from one of Julie’s books and I am happy to recommend it. Like her previous novels, “A Light in the Window” is refreshingly honest and includes a large dose of romantic tension. Tempered by a bit of humor and dramatic action, the story focuses on relationships with family, friends, the opposite gender and God.<\/p>\n Marcy and Patrick’s relationship was filled with ups and downs, misunderstandings, friendship, and distrust. An excellent example of how a relationship with God can change a person and how another person can unknowingly be the influence that leads them to the Lord, “A Light in the Window” has several lessons in life and faith for the reader to ponder. Its Christmas theme is the perfect setting for this wonderful story.<\/p>\n If you have enjoyed Julie’s other novels, you don’t want to miss this one. It’s available now at Amazon.com as a preorder to be delivered to your Kindle on November 9.<\/p>\n A digital copy of this book was provided for review by the author.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n A Light in the Window: An Irish Christmas Love Story<\/p>\n (Release date November 9, 2012)<\/p>\n One Woman. Two Men.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n One stirs her pulse and the other her faith.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n But who will win her heart?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Marceline Murphy is a gentle beauty with a well-founded aversion to rogues. But when two of Boston’s most notorious pursue her, she encounters a tug-of-war of the heart she isn\u2019t expecting. Sam O\u2019Rourke is the childhood hero she\u2019s pined for, the brother of her best friend and a member of the large, boisterous family to which she longs to be a part. So when his best friend Patrick O\u2019Connor joins in pursuit of her affections, the choice seems all too clear. Sam is from a family of faith and Patrick is not, two rogues whose wild ways clash head-on with Marcy\u2019s\u2014both in her faith and in her heart.<\/p>\n While overseeing the Christmas play fundraiser for the St. Mary\u2019s parish soup kitchen\u2014A Light in the Window\u2014Marcy not only wrestles with her attraction to both men, but with her concern for their spiritual welfare. The play is based on the Irish custom of placing a candle in the window on Christmas Eve to welcome the Holy Family, and for Marcy, its message becomes deeply personal. Her grandmother Mima cautions her to guard her heart for the type of man who will respond to the “light in the window,” meaning the message of Christ in her heart. But when disaster strikes during the play, Marcy is destined to discover the truth of the play\u2019s message first-hand when it becomes clear that although two men have professed their undying love, only one has truly responded to \u201cthe light in the window.\u201d<\/p>\n Can the light in the window illuminate the path of true love?<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\" "\\"divider2\\"")
