A Christmas Eve Novella
Reader’s Write
A charming intersection of the movies “Crash” and “It’s a Wonderful Life.”
The perfect book to enjoy this season when the snow swirls, and the cold settles.
Made me stop and reflect on my own life and family. Made me cry too! VERY well written!
The parallels with the real story of Christmas are inspiring.
Thought-provoking, character rich, and engaging.
The story starts with almost the last scene and then works itself through the 14 hours that led up to the first event. So every chapter is fun since you are trying to figure out how it all fits.
I found myself connecting with the characters right from page one. As I read this book, I found myself a part of their Christmas and a part of their lives.
A perfect Christmas gift.
