When I buy a Christmas book I usually expect some of the traditional miracles. This usually includes boy finding girl, some sort of tragedy and they find their way back together. This book included that, but sent you way out on a limb. The story began very sweetly but becomes somewhat far fetched toward the middle. I love Christmas more than anyone but this was just too far out there for me. The best part of the book though is the very end. If you can make it through the middle you will love the conclusion.
