The Winter Baby by Sheila Newberry is a historical novel that sweeps readers back to Kent in 1903. Kathleen Clancy is pregnant, confused and lost. Kathleen ends up being rescued by the Mason family. She suffered blows to the head which has caused memory loss. Jessie Mason takes in Kathleen and treats her like one of her own. Danny and Sam Mason are Jessie's two sons who are each smitten with Kathleen. Danny has been courting Marion and feels he needs to honor his commitment to her. Kathleen has a little girl that she names Heather Mary and finds a home on the farm. But someone is searching for Kathleen. Where did Kathleen come from and what happened to her? The road to happiness and love is full of bumps and twists, but it is always worth the journey. To find out what happens to Kathleen, read The Winter Baby.
The Winter Baby is nicely written and well researched. I felt that Ms. Newberry captured the era in The Winter Baby. I did not feel any emotion associated with the characters or their story. I wish she had provided more feeling and depth. The pace of the story is slow which made the story drag for me. The Winter Baby had potential that was not fully realized. I did appreciate the epilogue. It is easy to predict how the story will finish after reading a few chapters. While I do not feel The Winter Baby is Sheila Newberry's best work, it will not stop me from picking up her future novels.
