A woman who lost a child happens to find one while helping the homeless and sees it as a Christmas miracle until she can't ignore the fact that she may have misread the miracle. This novella is too slight and superficial to feel enough of a connection to the main character. The "right thing to do" is very obvious and yet the author makes the main character take extreme measures to do what could have been accomplished very easily. ( )
