This was the first MHC book I ever read...THANKS MOM! I was hooked after page one!
A Christmas time book....terrific!
Simple, short heartwarming story. Not all that great a mystery.
1.5 stars out of 5
I've never read a book by Mary Higgins Clark before, so I decided to try this one since it had a Christmas theme and I wanted a holiday book. It was a fast and easy read and although it was based at Christmas time, the actual storyline didn't have much to do with Christmas itself. Overall though, it was a decent read, it kept me interested and I liked the somewhat predictable ending.
I rate this book 3.5 out of 5 stars

Short, easy to read, feel good Christmas novelette
When her husband was diagnosed with leukemia, Catherine Dornan and their two young sons accompanied him to New York, during the Christmas season, for a life-saving operation. Hoping to divert the boys from worry about their father, and to temper herown near despair, on Christmas Eve Catherine takes the boys to see Rockefeller Center's famous Christmas tree. When they stop to listen to a street musician, Brian, the younger boy, sees a woman take his mother's wallet, which holds a precious memento his grandmother has just given them, a St. Christopher medal that saved her husband's life in World War II, and which she and Brian believe will save his father's life now. Unable to get his mother's attention, Brian impulsively follows the woman who has taken the wallet into the city's subways, therby beginning a journey that will threaten his life and change that of his mother and of the theif, as well. Written with warmth, yet set against a background of menacing and thrilling suspense, Silent Night is about courage in the face of adversity, and faith renewed and faith rewarded.
