A Light in the Window: An Irish Christmas Love Story (O’Conner Daughters of Boston and Winds of Change #0.5—prequel) by Julie Lessman

Summary
Marcelin Murphy and her best friend, Julie O’Rourke, will be in charge of the Christmas play and fundraiser for the St. Mary’s parish soup kitchen.  They come up with “A Light in the Window” for the title of the play, relating to the lights that the Irish put in their windows each Christmas.  Volunteering to help with the play and dinners for the soup kitchen are rouges Patrick O’Conner and Sam O’Rourke, Julie’s older brother.  Both men are interested in Marcelin and flip a coin to determine who will be able to pursue her.  Patrick wins the coin flip, but ruins his chance when he rashly kisses Marcelin one night after walking her home after play rehearsal. Now Sam has his chance.  Will Sam succeed in winning Marcelin’s affections or ruin his chance when he cannot stop his “dallying with other women” ways?  Will Patrick’s heart and behaviors have changed enough to catch Marcelin’s attention and win her in the end, or will Sam steal Marcelin’s heart instead?

Review
Award-winning author Julie Lessman’s novel A Light in the Window is about love, faith, and service.  It teaches about how someone heading down the wrong path can turn his life around if influenced by good people and has a will to change.  The love triangle between Marcelin Murphy and rouges Patrick O’Conner and Sam ORourke leave readers guessing which man will not only vie for her affections, but win her heart.  This novel is both touching and inspiring.  I would recommend it to all lovers of Christian-historical-Irish fiction.
