Westlake Porter Public Library - Westlake Room

As described in Library Journal, this short book has an elegant plot, endearing characters, and subtle humor, making it a lovely Christmas miracle of  a book.

In 1962 Faha, a charming Irish village, a baby is discovered abandoned at the back gate of the church and taken to the home of the village doctor. Dr. Troy, and his adult daughter Ronnie, nurse the frozen baby back to health but must conspire to keep the baby a secret in ultra-Catholic Ireland or be forced to it over to the authorities.
