An attractive junior at Bloomwood College with a long history of failed relationships, Lexi Baker has her life turned upside down when her mother is rushed to the hospital in critical condition. As the only daughter of a single mother, she is forced to grow up quickly when she experiences the difficulties of paying bills, working two jobs, and caring for a family. Her determination to find help for her ailing mother is rewarded and leads to personal growth, new friends, and unexpected romance. Lexi's Christmas Gift is a lighthearted and sometimes poignant young adult love story that crosses generational lines with its unexpected twists and fun mix of tension, humor, friendship, and love guided by subtle Christian overtones. Author of Life is Like a Parade, L. Henry Smith is a true romantic at heart. His stories inspire hope that genuine happiness can be found while traveling life's uncertain and sometimes painful paths, even if the happiness we find isn't what we were looking for when we started the journey. He writes to entertain young readers using thought-provoking stories of struggle and conflict that can lead to personal growth and maturity.
