SynopsisIt’s the time of the Census, y’all! That means things are really hopping in the little town of Bethlehem, and nobody’s feeling the heat more than Leah’s husband Saul, the town’s sole innkeeper. While Leah would typically be lending a hand, her failing health prevents her from leaving her bed. But when a young man and his pregnant wife knock on the door, Leah is given a gift that will change her world – and ours – forever. |
