About this listen
Stella was excited to return home from college for a much needed Thanksgiving break and to start the Christmas holiday season with her family. It was her favorite time of year. But things changed dramatically when her mom woke her from a deep sleep to say they had to rush her dad to the hospital.
He was struggling to breathe. The diagnosis was a shock, but paled in comparison to the secrets unveiled on that fateful night.
Stella was a Christmas miracle when she was born at 11:59 pm on Christmas Eve, and now she needs another miracle to save her dad and unravel the mystery of the Christmas stars.
This heartwarming Christmas story of family, friendship, and discovery with a little bit of Christmas miracle sprinkled in, is just what you need to put you in the Christmas spirit.

Story
Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family."

Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

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.

A Moving Seasonal Story About Family
This was my first experience with Marcus Williams' work, and I enjoyed it a lot. Stella returned home from college for Thanksgiving break, when a family emergency led to some surprising secrets. I liked the characters. I appreciated the small-town fellowship featured in the tale. I was entertained by the careful steps that were followed in order to uncover the truth of events. Aubrey Jones' narration was good, and her performance kept my attention. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Genealogy
What a wonderful Christmas story! It is clean, uplifting, romantic, and I wanted to know what was going to happen next. The families here were what I would want to have as neighbors and friends, and the connections discovered make the ending perfect!

Christmas surprises.
Such a heartwarming story. A loving family. Celebrating the holidays. Coming home to family and friends from college. A medical emergency. Complications revealed. Figuring out who is who. I enjoyed this story so much. It could be a movie.
The narration really adds to the feels. Aubrey does an excellent job. 5 stars for her as well.
