{"description": {"type": "/type/text", "value": "When wealthy, hard-driving corporate genius Jason Wilding reluctantly takes a break from his business and his husband-hunting girlfriends for a Christmas visit to his hometown in Abernathy, Kentucky, he has no idea what his physician brother, David, has in store for him. It seems that Amy Thompkins, a whimsical young widow with definite artistic talent, has captured David\u2019s heart, but courting her with a demanding baby in tow has been difficult. In order to pursue her, he persuades Jason to move into her home and take care of her spoiled but adorable son, Max, for a week.\r\n\r\nFor a fiercely efficient CEO, it\u2019s an impossible scene: a falling-down old house; buckets on the dining room floor to catch the rain; a widow living on next to nothing, with no marketable skills. But Amy\u2019s joy for life, her love for her son, and her sparkling humor are irresistible \u2014 and tiny Max adores Jason beyond reason. Soon, Jason sees Amy and her future as a prime target for his strategic planning. Importing his private chef to prepare the little one\u2019s food and buying a baby store so that his mother can get real bargains are just the beginning. Because enigmatic Jason is thawing \u2014 the tender feelings and longing he has buried for years are begging to be heard. And when he smiles, Amy is reminded of a Mount Rushmore monument finally cracking up \u2014 in the best possible way.\r\n\r\nThe mutual attraction is glowing bright, but what to do about David?"}, "title": "The blessing", "covers": [409931, 405185, 10496147, 10496148], "subject_places": ["Kentucky"], "subjects": ["Fiction", "Widows", "Brothers", "Single mothers", "Christmas stories", "Love stories", "Parent-child relationship", "Christmas", "Large type books", "Fiction, romance, contemporary", "Brothers, fiction", "Taggert family (fictitious characters), fiction", "Widows, fiction", "Kentucky, fiction"], "key": "/works/OL810239W", "authors": [{"type": {"key": "/type/author_role"}, "author": {"key": "/authors/OL68291A"}}], "type": {"key": "/type/work"}, "latest_revision": 15, "revision": 15, "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2009-12-09T04:37:41.572304"}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2024-05-20T11:59:27.146749"}}
