I've enjoyed some of Berg's other books so I was hopeful this one would be good. I found it in Bismarck's used bookstore and the price was right, so I took a chance. It seemed like a good Christmas read for December.
It was well-written, and seems consistent with some of what I know of the Savior's birth, but was not inspiring or particularly uplifting. The author tried to help us feel what Mary and Joseph may have felt and their struggle is somewhat predictable. It's a good thing it's a short book; it was disappointing. If I hadn't already studied the context of our Savior's birth and life, I might have learned some things...And I didn't particularly like the way she portrayed Joseph or Mary...
