A Christmas Gift By Kathi Macias




Chiapas, Mexico, had proven to be the distraction and escape Julie needed. As a teacher, she had longed to travel and instruct abroad. Now, she was teaching and falling in love with her students. But what she didn't expect happened in the short days leading up to Christmas.  She didn’t know that her freedom would depend on Ramon, the local pastor. She didn’t anticipate the emotions this man of God would stir deep in her spirit. This Christmas Eve service would be unlike any other she had ever experienced. Would this simple man and his faith be enough to cause her to stay when she had every reason to leave?

What a fantastic heartfelt, moving, inspirational read. Kathi never disappoints. She is a very talented author with a huge voice.
This is a story that many will connect with. The characters are very real and the story is one you don't want to miss.
Kathi writes about tough subjects in such away you will want to get out and change the world.
I gave book 5 stars two times and I HIGHLY recommend it.
I was given a copy of this book by the author for my honest review.
