A Quilt for Christmas by Melody Carlson is a charming Christmas novella. I started reading A Quilt for Christmas, and I did not want to put the book down. The story has friendly, relatable characters. I like Melody Carlson's writing style. It is engaging and draws the reader into the story. I really liked the theme of the book. The various strangers came together to help someone in need. A little girl wants a special Christmas quilt for her mother. The various characters work together to create Christmas magic. They make a difference in a family's life and in each of their own lives. The Christmas spirit is at work in this sweet story. A Quilt for Christmas is about forgiveness, helping others, love, and Christmas. It is a simple but heartwarming novella. I look forward to reading Melody Carlson's latest Christmas book each year. This Christmas novella is one of my favorites by this author (in the top three). It is a story that makes you feel good, and put you in the mood for Christmas (with plans to help a few neighbors). A Quilt for Christmas is an uplifting tale with an unwell neighbor, a daughter's request, an effective flyer, conflicting characters, a rewarding romance, a gratifying gift, and the Christmas spirit.
