My Thoughts- 

I cannot wait for Christmas to come and this book has put me into the holiday season early.  When Lena came to town she immediately bonded with some of the folks in the town and made their lives better. I especially liked Moira Stanfield who was very kind to Lena. Moira was not judgmental when she found out about Lena's past and they became friends.  Ms Carlson wrote a wonderful book that reminds us that everyone needs, hope, love, inspiration and a second chance. This is not only a perfect book for the Christmas season but year round. A must read.
