Sweet feel good story

What a sweet loving story. I listened to the audio version of this book and the narrator was fantastic. She enveloped Stella. A story about the love between a parent and child no mater what. I don't want to give anything away but what developed in this sweet story was not expected. A scary thought that probably happens more than we think in hospitals. When Stella found out her father needed a kidney, what develops after is a must read. It read like a Hallmark movie and I loved every minute. I did feel sorry for the parents who were, I felt blindsided by the news. It was a short story that read quickly. I'm sure that's why it didn't get into all the feelings from all the characters. However, it's a feel good story with a true Christmas Miracle. I got a free copy of the audio version from StoryOrgin and this is my honest review.

Christmas Miracle

I loved this story! It was lighthearted and sweet, makes me think this would be a good Hallmark Christmas movie. Miracles do happen. Stella is home from college for Thanksgiving. A family emergency they discover her father needs a transplant, and she is not a match. She dives in and investigates, until uncovering she was switched at birth. The rest of the story is lovely, and you should definitely read it. I would love to read more of these characters lives. The narration was well done. I received a free copy of this audiobook, and am voluntarily leaving my review.
