This was a fantastic time travel tale centered around Christmas. I loved the focus on the impact a single person can have on the lives of others!

I adored this sweet sweet story. A perfect Christmas themed tale. Hanna was such a great character and I loved Toby. I am so excited to see the movie!!

This is the last book that I read in 2017, which is interesting. I did not watch the Hallmark holiday movie, though it is waiting for me on my PVR. 

This book seemed to be a romance novel from the first couple of chapters, but it really was about something more. It's about all that can be forgotten over time, as the years pass by and how sometimes getting rid of traditions is not the best thing. 

Hanna is a lovely woman, trying to be positive after moments of feeling sorry for herself. 

Sarah is stubborn, but interesting in her own right. 

The family that comes together, both blood related and otherwise, in this book is one of love, compassion and a need for a new way to relate to each other which they do find in this.

This is a Christmas tale, and yes, it is a bit cliche, but isn't that what makes it good? I think so. Good, quick reading, filled with warmth. 

Received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

Read this in a day. Such a cute book. Looking forward to watching the sappy movie to go along with it!

I feel like I should've known this...but Hallmark movies really do not transfer well to books.

What a fun holiday read! This was a random pick for me on Hoopla and ended up being just what I wanted, a short quick holiday book to get me in the spirit. The time travel element added just a touch of fantasy to help keep the story interesting.

The basic plot is that a WW II nurse and war widow is transported 70 years into the future around Christmas. The trip allows her to rediscover value in herself. I can’t get too much more into plot without giving spoilers but overall I thought it was an appealing story.

This book will appeal to people who love Hallmark Christmas movies (because it is one). For those that really don’t like a slight cheese factor in their romance, you’re probably better off staying away.
