And the agency isn’t giving you a Christmas Day foster child you don’t even have a bed for, without a home visit, and a myriad of other hoops to jump through. (”Hey, while you’re here, want a baby?”) You also can’t order kids-”newborn, any race”-like It’s the dollar menu at McDonald’s. Sure, you can’t just put yourself on a wait list for a foster child via a sidewalk conversation. In a line I never thought I’d say about Hallmark…The foster-adoption plot line here is actually really well handled. Also nice that Christmas is-for a Hallmark movie anyway-low key, with no holiday deadlines or over-the-top celebrations we spend the whole movie building towards. And there’s also a significant faith element, which is usually not something I gravitate towards. Love that isn’t a romance, though it is very much a love story. As an adoptee whose mom died when I was six and whose dad was…not great. Right off the bat, I must admit, I basically cried through this whole movie. Long story short, the biggest miracle for me is that Hallmark finally made a movie about adoption that didn’t make me want to throw things at my TV screen.

If it was up to me, I'd have worked more on the war and famine explanation for why Hänsel & Gretel's parents decided to abandon them. ![]() For example, why is the stepmother changed to the mother? And why is she punished but not the father who actually carried out the deed twice? Why does the witch drug the kids? None of that is in the fairy tale. ![]() Just wordier and with little changes that don't make much sense. I downright hated this retelling, and not just because it's boringly the same as the original fairy tale. This being Neil Gaiman, I was fully expecting shocking twists and gritty but unique twists to the Grimms' tale of Hänsel and Gretel, and instead I got confirmation that Gaiman doesn't know how meat is transported and how German names work. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If her fianc were to discover her indiscretion, he would break their engagement, so Ames must recover the letters to save Val from social ostracism. His orphaned young cousin, Valentine, has made a most desirable match, but she has unfortunately been indiscreet, and the love letters she wrote during a failed summer romance have somehow fallen into Colonel Mann’s hands. ![]() But it’s his reason for visiting Colonel Mann in the first place that is by far Ames’s greatest concern. By discovering the body, Addington Ames, a resident of Louisburg Square, Beacon Hill, has violated at least two tenets of the Boston Brahmin code of behavior to which he was born his name has appeared in the newspapers, and he has been questioned by the police. Mann was the publisher of a scurrilous gossip rag in which he exposed the indiscretions, great and small, of Boston’s highest caste unless they paid the hush money he demanded. When Colonel William D’Arcy Mann is found shot dead in his Boston hotel suite, there are few to mourn him but many who will feel the repercussions of his untimely demise. Victorian Boston is the splendid setting for a deliciously scandalous murder in this seductive historical mystery. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Read it just like any other book in your Library. ![]() ![]() For over four generations, children and adults alike have.
