As winter unfolds, the events of that December profoundly change Ronnie, Doctor Troy, and their understanding of family and community. Set in the charming village of Faha, the narrative follows Doctor Jack Troy, who was born and raised there. Discover the lyrical beauty of this heartfelt novel, praised as "a beautiful book that you will love" by Good Morning America's #1 Favorite Book of the Year. From the acclaimed author of the November 2025 Late Show with Stephen Colbert Book Club Pick, *This Is Happiness*, this story offers a compassionate and life-affirming portrayal of the Christmas season in a small Irish town. Set in the charming village of Faha, the narrative follows Doctor Jack Troy, who was born and raised there. His dedication to caring for the sick and the dying has always set him apart from the community. His eldest daughter, Ronnie, has grown up in her father's shadow, having missed one chance at love and passing up another offer of marriage from an unsuitable man. Their lives take an unexpected turn during the Advent season of 1962 when a baby is left in their care. As winter unfolds, the events of that December profoundly change Ronnie, Doctor Troy, and their understanding of family and community. The story explores how these moments reshape their lives forever, highlighting themes of love, sacrifice, and the true spirit of Christmas. Set over the course of one December in the same village as Williams' beloved *This Is Happiness*, *Time of the Child* is a tender return to Faha for longtime fans and a warm welcome to new readers. This novel promises to be a heartwarming journey into a small town’s Christmas magic and the transformative power of compassion.
