A Return to Christmasby Chris Heimerdinger
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I was telling an aunt about Donna VanLiere's Christmas Shoes series & how I loved those books. So my aunt told me about this book & that I would love it. It had been a gift to her & she read it in one sitting. She brought it over this evening. Yes, I did enjoy it. Yes, it was unputdownable, just as she had said. I had started another book this afternoon & was right in the middle of it. I did not plan to read A Return to Christmas tonight. However, I started reading the cover blurb & the beginning of the book. I IMMEDIATELY knew how it was going to end. I started for the end of the book, as I invariably do, & she made me promise, pinky-swear, that I would not read the end of the book. I had the hardest time keeping that promise. When I finished the book, just as my son & his girlfriend came home & wanted the only couch in the house, my mom immediately asked me if I had read the end. I had to tell her a couple of times, "I DID NOT READ THE END OF THE BOOK!!!"
Because it took place in Salt Lake City, & I lived there for almost 20 years, it was easy to picture the city, Temple Square all lit up, the Christus, the freeways ...
