Review: Merry Mary - Ashley Farley - October 2015

First off, I want to say how amazing this book cover is and that it makes me smile as I think of what Christmas Miracle could lie within the pages. Merry Mary tells the readers about a women who gave to the homeless and they blessed her with a baby which ultimately would lead to a series of life decisions.  Scottie has always wanted to be a mother, but then life played her a cruel card as she had a miscarriage. One day before Christmas break, Scottie is visiting her homeless shelter friends when she hears a baby crying . Scottie finds the baby wrapped up in a sack and the mother dead.  Her first instinct is to take the baby home and look after it until she finds out more about the homeless woman and whether the baby has any other family. As Scottie's husband Brad is away on business , she brings the baby into her house and cares for it and names it Merry Mary.  During this time , Scottie gets a visit from Mabel - one of the main "five" homeless elders and Mabel tells Scottie all about Trish and her story and how there isn't anyone else to raise the baby and that since it was delievered in the park, there is no record.  This gets Scottie's hopes up as she believes this is her Christmas Miracle. What will happen though when the body is identified and Trish's family comes forward and they are nothing like what Mabel suggested ? Scottie does what is right and hands the baby over, but will she be done for kidnapping ? What I loved about the ending of this book was despite having to handover Merry Mary back to her "real family" , Scottie still got her Christmas Miracle - it just will arrive nine months later.
 If you love a quick read , inspirational and one that will warm your heart this Christmas Season then check out Merry Mary by Ashely Farley.
