Judith Cowley's Reviews > An Informal Christmas

Trigger alert-this book is about a woman who works with pediatric cancer patients. It is well handled with a positive outlook. I enjoyed it because the main character, Rylie, is a Child Life Specialist at a children's hospital-a different career than you generally read about. At the beginning of the book she is struggling a bit with the challenges of working with sick/dying children, but she works it out through prayer. There is quite a bit of spiritual discussion, but I didn't feel that it was preachy. I enjoyed the characters and their evolution, and the positive outlook in spite of the setting of a children's hospital.
