But the wedding isn't Gaby's only surprise - she has one more gift for her children, and it could change all their lives forever.

So True

I only now came across this book. Perhaps it’s just as well as having lived a lot of life I can appreciate the many, many truths of this story and know how un fabricated the story lines are. Though not a Christmas rom-com but rather a well written story taking place over Christmas. it is real and it is hard and it is wonderful. No trumped up drama, no drama that drags on. It’s family, it’s life choices, it’s adjusting to new normals and seeing new possibilities. It’s being brave and determined and open. It’s realizing that though different from how originally expected - hope and happiness can be recaptured.

I love this story

This is such an awesome, romantic story! I’ve listened to it 3x! Great job! Fantastic!
