Synopsis

One Woman. Two Men.
One stirs her pulse and the other her faith.
But who will win her heart?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’t expecting. Sam O’Rourke is the childhood hero she’s 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’Connor 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’s—both in her faith and in her heart. While overseeing the Christmas play fundraiser for the St. Mary’s parish soup kitchen—A Light in the Window—Marcy 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’s message first-hand when it becomes clear that although two men have professed their undying love, only one has truly responded to “the light in the window.”

Goodreads review by Anne

So, apparently I completely forgot to review this book, and it annoys me because I remember greatly enjoying it despite the fact that I read most of it laying down on the couch with vinegar treatments in my ear to cure an earache that lasted for weeks. But the book was so good that I often forgot ab......more

I'm ditching sleep because I really need to talk about this. ***Also, uh, please scroll down to the appropriate place if you want a more review review... because I realize I start off with a lot of outpouring of feelings... and may continue with more outpouring of my feelings.

I have never read a book by Julie Lessman that I haven't totally adored. This prequel to the other six books in the O'Conner family's saga is more than satisfying, but I knew it would be since I love the author's writing. I enjoyed how this story brought everything together from the other books and......more

I love the writing of Julie Lessman and from reading all the stories about Marcy and Patrick's children in the series Daughters of Boston followed by Winds of Change coming back to a prequel was an exciting bit for me. It's the kind of story where you know how it ends, but you just have to know how......more
