Love lingers long after the war.
As snow falls gently over postwar Indianapolis, Clara Goodwin hides her heartache behind ribbon, glitter, and fragile hope.
The war may be finished but her fiancé-Jack Thompson, a courageous B-17 pilot-remains missing. Each day without news chips away at her spirit, yet Clara clings to faith, channeling her longing into her work as Head Artist at Amberson's Department Store.
This year's challenge? Designing the 1946 Christmas Catalog with little inventory to promote. Faced with blank pages and a looming deadline, Clara sketches whimsical cherubs to fill the void.
But as she brings them to life, she pours into them more than just creativity-she weaves in her love, her grief, and the aching questions that haunt her: Is Jack MIA, a POW... or gone forever? And if he returns, will he still be the man she knew?
In a season made for miracles, Clara's cherub may be more than just a symbol of the holidays-it may hold the key to her deepest prayer.
Rich with nostalgia, and brimming with heartfelt hope, The Christmas Cherub is a tender holiday novella for anyone who believes love-like Christmas-always finds a way.
