Mary is a naive 20-year-old in 1945 when her high school sweetheart, Jack, returns to their small Indiana steel town wounded from World War II and makes her his bride. While Jack struggles to find his place in the world, Mary begins her own journey of self-discovery.
As the years and letters unfold, Mary and Jack have five children, including their first-born son, Junior, who is not “right", an issue that contributes to the turmoil in their marriage and impacts their lives in unforeseen ways.
Mary's Christmas letters track her children from toddling to adulthood, while also commenting on her marriage, her friendships, and the world around her - advances in technology, the dawn of the nuclear age, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Cold War, Vietnam, Woodstock, and more.
Through disappointments, triumphs, dark moments of doubt and suspicion, loss of loved ones, and the lessons learned from hard experience, Mary’s Christmas letters are a constant in an uncertain world. A part of the ritual of Christmas, these letters are a touchstone from which Mary takes strength and comfort.

This is an amazing book. I found it absolutely delightful to follow Mary's family from 1945 until 1981. The Christmas letters written to her best friend Midge highlight family, music, movies, and politics as things evolve and change over time. I will listen to this again next Christmas, and the next.
The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed. Pam Dougherty brought the characters to life!!!

Steven H Berman incorporates historical events throughout. Seeing how these events impact Mary and her family make the story feel very real. I truly felt like I knew each and every one of the characters.
This story is brought to life through the talents of Pam Dougherty. I was drawn in as each letter was read... feeling the emotions as the events unfolded.

Would it be sexist to say I was surprised a man had written this? Well, I was. Maybe because it stars a female not too long into her marriage before she starts popping babies out and becomes a baker. But I’d definitely read or listen to more by this author. Either way, this was a beautiful and emotional story! I liked that the story was based on facts so that the reader or listener could essentially learn little tidbits about events that took place long ago, for me many before my birth. I love history so that was an interesting aspect of the story.
The narrator did a great job. I think she had the perfect voice for a story like this. It fit in well for the main character as she goes through the years writing to her friend.
I received a free audiobook of this story in exchange for an honest review.
I loved it!

I was given this book for free in exchange for a fair review. Some people might wonder what "fair" equals. Usually for me, the "free" means it will get at least 3 stars. This one would have been a strong 5 stars even if I'd paid full price for it. Which I am going to do, as gifts - I can think of at least 3 friends/family members who will love reading it. Its one of my favorite books of this year, and definitely one I'll be re-reading.
Such a wonderful story!
