This was an easy, inviting book to read. It is a story about life and how it isn't always perfect. Lena tries to come to a new town to start over, but realizes that she can't hide from her past, and only succeeds when she is honest about it. She meets people along the way with whom she helps and others who help her in building her life again.
This is a great story about kindness, truth, hope, and Lena plays a great Mrs. Claus!

I like this story because it has charming characters and an unusual storyline. It reminds me that in life we have unbearably difficult times, but God can turn things around and work everything out for those who choose to live in His love.
Very good book Melody Carlson is such a very good Author
