L.B. had already supported one man-through medical school and setting up his practice. All that got her was rejection so
that her doctor-husband could choose a (younger) nurse to replace her. The only good thing L.B. got out of the marriage
was her daughter, Belle. Now Belle and her husband, who live in London, are going to make L.B. a grandmother. The last
thing she needs is another man to support, even if he does call her pretty lady.
Daniel looked really bad when she first saw him, but Mr. York (her boss) at Denny Day Department stores, cleaned him
up, gave him some new clothes, and employed him as the store Santa. He played the part perfectly and everyone liked him.
L.B. (Lena Belle) really liked him. That was the worst thing she could do: fall for a homeless Santa.
Ms. Judy Baker has packed a lot of story in this quick-paced story. Ms. Baker has used these two people, who were
definitely more than met the eye, and their personalities, to tell an interesting story. The plot is solid and definitely held
surprises. Would L.B. allow her heart to rule her life, or would she close herself off from another man who appeared to
need support?
I recommend this book to anyone who wants to indulge in a seasonal, upbeat story. You will definitely not be disappointed.

Judy Baker tells a delightful short Christmas story that's good for year-round entertainment.
Homeless Santa is a wonderful, feel-good book that will lift you out of the doldrums! LB is
reluctant to know Daniel due to her wrong assumptions regarding his living quarters and earning
capacity, while Daniel is disgusted with women who want only his money. Somehow, the two of
them must find a way past their preconceptions, and Daniel is more than willing to take the first
step, in his search for a woman who will love him for himself. Homeless Santa is definitely a
keeper in my opinion!

5 BOOKS from The Long and the Short of It

This is one of the best developed short stories I have read. LB (Lena Belle) is a fully developed heroine, with
strengths and weakness. Her struggle against falling in love with Daniel is understandable and clearly
explained. Sexual tension is built and maintained through out the story, it is a constant undercurrent but not to
the point that LB and Daniel act like hormone crazed teenagers. LB and Daniel are adults trying to work out
an adult relationship. Daniel is a sweet hero, whose motives are clear to the reader but hidden from LB. Ms.
Baker even manages to weave in several side stories and secondary characters.

Homeless Santa is definitely a keeper Christmas story, one that I will enjoy year after year.
