I borrowed this book from a friend and found myself dragging my feet to read it. I'm usually not one for the sappy or feel good novels and this looked (I stress the word looked) like one of those types of novels. I started reading
this book and finished it in two days. I actually had to make myself put it down to get sleep at night. I took it to work so I could finish reading. I had forgotten that I read and like The Christmas Box by the same author about a decade ago and loved it. This novel delivered the message of family and forgiveness for the Christmas season. I'm planning on reading it again this Christmas.

The main character, Mark Smart, has had enough of all that life can throw at him. On the night that he plans to take his life, his old car breaks down in front of a diner. This turn of fortune leads him to another lost soul, Macy Wood. After a whirlwind romance, Mark proposes to Macy only to be turned down. Hurt and alone, Mark decides to leave town and start life over again somewhere else until a close friend of Macy's shows up and gives him some insight. What follows is Mark's decision to help Macy come to grips with her past and possibly give them a future together.
Warning: Please don't read this novel when you are pregnant. I made that mistake and cried for hours and hours on end!!
