The Christmas Child — Darlene Franklin

A year ago scandal ruined the annual Nanepaushat Cotton Mill Christmas Masquerade -- the owner's son tarried with a mill worker and she left, shamed and pregnant. Tragedy strikes this year when the same son dies in a tragic accident. Can supervisor Preston Marshall and the shunned woman's cousin redeem the flailing Masquerade and rescue the Christmas child? How will they overcome the difference in their positions? Check out Christmas Child to read this imaginative retelling of Herod's massacre of the innocents of Bethlehem.
