This review is late by my own admission but comes with my heartfelt recommendation. I didn't want this one to be buried with Halloween, Thanksgiving, or the latest trendy love story. This book is important. Melody Carlson once again delivers with this 2016 Christmas story that I believe will be worth reading again every holiday season.
Follow five very special women who share life through their book club. Abby, their unofficial leader has a special touch on every member's life. This year, she has made each member a special gift. As we open our story on Thanksgiving evening she is finishing up her last special angel ornament for her beloved friends'. Each gift is intentional and speaks to each woman't special spiritual gift. Each woman has something to offer everyone yet has a need to develop that gift.
As fate would have it, Abby dies in her sleep that evening and her loving husband delivers her heartfelt gifts to the women of her club. Stunned at Abby's sudden passing, the women try to determine the future of their unique group. As they open their gifts they realize that their group is much more than just meeting every month to discuss the current book selection. They are so much more than just what they see and Abby knew this. This is a story about women we may have encountered in our lives with normal, every day problems and that is why it is so full of impact.
Please join me this season by reading this wonderful book about life and the simple things we do that have a large impact on the world we live in. Simple, complicated and guaranteed to make you cry and put you in the mood for an inspirational Christmas season.
Five stars for this wonderful, heartwarming book. I had a hard time putting it down and read late into the night.
