Lovely little feel-good Christmas book. I will read the 4th in the series near Christmas, 2012.
Definitely a 3 tissue book but an excellent read. A story of a mother and son and the grief she has to deal with and the hope that is brought through the children she places in foster homes. An emotional read but well written and Donna VanLiere truly brings the Christmas Hope message. Carol
Wonderful story of a mother who has lost her only child and thinks she will never be able to find peace or solace in her life. A little girl who becomes an orphan at Christmas time and grieves as only a small child can-with every breath she takes. A whole family that is frozen in sadness and gradually warms to the love and wisdom of a heart-broken child. This is a fantastic book that made me cry as it brings to your mind the real pain that life gives everyone; the heart-breaking trust that children have that everything will be ok. Sometimes the only certainty in life is from the love you share, the love that will sustain your loved ones after you have left this world, the love that you give to others....a circle that is never ending. A must-read that will stay with you at Christmas and all through your life.
