A Child for Christmas is my second book by Marisa Masterson. It was okay, but I did like the other book more.
I originally chose to read this book because it works for 2 of my reading challenges. And I was intrigued by the description of the book. The book takes place after the Civil War. Charlotte gets married to Butch by proxy. Which I'd never heard of. She is left with her sister's baby after the mother dies right after the baby is born. Charlotte is from the south and Butch, the man she ends up married to lives out in Wyoming. The relationship has multiple obstacles and then there are dangers that pop up after she arrives.
I think I would have liked this more if it was a full novel and we got to know the characters better, and they got to know each other better.
Everything seemed a bit rushed and wrapped up too easily. And there was something about some of the writing that bothered me a bit, including having trouble keeping the names straight.
