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.

A must read

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!

Definitely a must read! 5+ stars!

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.

Reminds me of my mom

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.
