The tree is decorated, the cookies are baked, and the packages are wrapped, but the biggest celebration this Christmas is Gaby Summerhill's wedding. Since her husband died three years ago, Gaby's four children have drifted apart, each consumed by the turbulence of their own lives. They haven't celebrated Christmas together since their father's death, but when Gaby announces that she's getting married - and that the groom will remain a secret until the wedding day - she may finally be able to bring them home for the holidays. 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.

With deeply affecting characters and the emotional twists of a James Patterson thriller, The Christmas Wedding is a fresh look at family and the magic of the season.

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!
