A must read

This is one of the best books I’ve read/listened to this year. It pulls at my heart strings and also adds some laughter. Knowing that God places people and circumstances in our path to shape us into the people he intended for us to be amazed me.

Definitely a must read! 5+ stars!

Do yourself a favor and buy the book or audiobook. It is well worth the credit/money! What an awe inspiring beautiful story of unconditional love, the meaning of Christmas, and the strength of bonds between families, friends, and communities. We may not realize how greatly our actions effect others, or how sometimes it’s the most common or simple things that matter. Donna VanLiere did an incredible job emphasizing that in this powerful book of love! Keep a box of Kleenex nearby, but without a doubt, it’s one of the most touching and best books I’ve ever read/listened to!

Reminds me of my mom

Every time I listen to this story I will always think of my mom, for two reasons. One she read this story to me for the first time. And two I lost her several years ago now at Thanksgiving time. She loved the holiday season and loved her family. This story helps remind me that I will see her again someday.

Sobbed

I cried with the song too, I knew what I was getting myself into. It was a very sweet but very sad story of family and loss. It makes you appreciate what you have. I kind of wish it was longer, but honestly, I'm not sure what more could have been added.

Great Christmas story

The story line captures true family activities surrounding Christmas and the holidays! Relationships are so important and can become messy. Enjoyable story!!

Poignant and Meaningful

This poignant and meaningful story is told in the setting of Christmas, when our hearts are the most tender, and able to love others. Sometimes we need a little help doing this well, and it often comes in the most unexpected ways.

Outstanding

A beautiful story of love, hope, trust, forgiveness, and a changed heart!
Highly recommend! Christmas or anytime!

Christmas

sad but heart felt great for holidays a fast read a story about two families

Very sweet and sad at the same time

This story is of both loss and of finding purpose. I teared up several times and smiled too. It was worth reading but I can’t say I’m in any hurry to re-read it or make it an annual classic.

A beautiful, family-oriented, modern-day twist on “A Christmas Carol”

This is beautifully written, inspiring, bittersweet and full of hope. Memorable and well worth the reading.
