Cute little story about people finding their way through tragedy to celebrate Christmas. A little predictable but decent

I have never felt truly at ease around the clean, shiny people of this world. Life has taught me the most trustworthy and honest are usually those who are frayed around the edges. Not always but usually.

Technically this isn't LDS fiction, but it follows the same basic rules: somewhat decent storytelling (admittedly tending toward dramatic plotlines … or is it just that my life is boring?) but squeaky-clean and fun to read. And basically impossible to put down.

this is such a beautiful story.
one of my favorites. however every book I've read by Mr Evans is fantastic. it's like some drama a romance, bad things happen but everything works out for the best type of store.
I ugly cried and I smiled throughout the whole book. this is one that I'll think about often.

5 out of 5 hands down.
So it starts with Macy. she's removed from her home and sent to live with an adopted family who treats her like crap. she ends up running away and lives with Jo. and works with her at the hut. she meets this man and long story short she finds herself in love however her past keeps her from being fully committed. until she faces her issues head on. her boyfriend has a lot of family issues as well. however this is heartbreaking and also heartwarming. if you like Hallmark movies and feel good romance this is for you.

It's sappy and tugs at the heart strings, and it's predictable. But it's a quick Christmas feel-good read, and who couldn't use a bit of that?

Overly mushy and sentimental, but a decent read, not even close to the quality of Christmas Box

A beautiful and heartfelt story. I definitely enjoyed this one and it was an easy-read. The characters: Mark, Macy, Jo, etc. were believable and I loved how the story of each person was told and woven together. Beautiful.
