Blurb: Two men. One Christmas Eve that changes the courses of both their lives.
Henry’s homeless and only wants a warm place to sleep on the coldest night of the year. A forgotten open window in a darkened house entices Henry inside with the promise of warmth and comfort. He knows it’s wrong, but he promises himself he’ll be out before the owner wakes on Christmas morning. Except he oversleeps and the homeowner, Jim, discovers a bearded stranger sawing logs under his dining room table. When the shock and the drama that ensues dies down, Henry and Jim discover that they might have found, quite unexpectedly, the Christmas miracle they’d both been longing for—love and home.

Review: An open window and a frozen man, is what Jim finds up when he gets up in the morning. But in truth what he finds is the man just for him. Jim lost it all, now homeless, all he wanted was a place where he wouldn’t freeze to death. An open window is just the thing.
This story is one of those that makes you think about the people around you. It makes you thankful of what you have. This story was probably the perfect Christmas story I have ever came across. It was sweet and tender, will make you cry, and then it will make you smile. I enjoyed the characters and their quirky ways. I had a blast reading it and can guarantee you will too.
I sure hope that this author turns this little story into a full size novel, because I sure do want to read more about these two guys and their life together.
