Christmas Redemption: Three Girls' Journey - Saundra Staats McLemore - Bog

It's December, 1967, and three unmarried girls find themselves pregnant from three different circumstances of behavior. Following her high school graduation, eighteen-year-old Cecilia and her boyfriend foolishly rebel from parental authority and obligations. They run away from their families to the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco during the "summer of love." Eighteen-year-old Gloria spends one last night with her soldier-fiancé before he's deployed to Vietnam. He's now MIA and Gloria is left pregnant. Following the death of her parents, twenty-one-year old grief-stricken college student Loretta is raped by her new boyfriend at a fraternity party. Depressed, angry, and bitter, the three girls wind up at Christmas Hotel for rest and healing. All three will consider abortion. Christmas Hotel is known as the place where miracles happen, but how will three traumatized young girls find their Christmas miracle? Is redemption possible? Can they learn to trust? Is there really a God?
