  • Christmas Review | The Christmas Light

Goodreads Synopsis:

amazon Goodreads
In the small town of Grandon, five very different people discover the true meaning of Christmas. Jennifer and Ryan are both single parents, struggling with their own losses and heartache as they attempt to move forward in the present while still holding onto the memories, joy, and heartache of the past. Sixteen-year-old Kaylee is faced with a life-changing situation that has affected her whole family. Stephen and Lily are happily married and ready to start a family. All of them are facing their own struggles, and all are finding their way through the dark. When they are brought together for a rather unconventional church Nativity, they will learn that with strength, courage, and love, there is always hope. The New York Times bestselling author of the beloved The Christmas Hope series returns with this new heartwarming, inspirational story about the power of love and faith to reveal the possibilities that lay right in front of you.

Hott Review:

What I liked: The Christmas Light is was an amazing story of a mom and her daughter moving on. Moving past the past hurts and loss to the bright future they could have. It was beautiful.
What I didn’t like: I found The Christmas Light to be a bit confusing. At times I felt like I was missing pieces of the story. It’s possible that the author wrote it this way to add intrigue but it almost made me give it up.
