A wonderful reminder of the brevity of life and how you never know who's life you might touch and make a difference in. No need to wait for
Christmas. It's a wonderful read.

What a wonderful book! I read it in 95 minutes. Couldn't put it down. I loved how the characters weaved in and out of each others lives. Being 8 y/o when my Dad died on 12/31 I remember what a sad and confusing time it was. And how I was shifted from one relative's home to another for 2 weeks. People whispering. No one talking directly to me. Hearing my Uncle tell his daughter while I was playing on her sunporch that my Dad had died. I went back to playing with my doll. How I sat at the head of his coffin just knowing I would catch him breathing. And still not one soul came to me. No comfort, no hug, nothing. Mother craved and received all the attention. I don't want another child to ever go through that horrible experience alone. I really loved this book. Especially the talk Maggie had with Nathan about her going to Heaven. And how Jack handled her death with Nathan.
