Publisher Description
Alternately laugh-out-loud funny and poignant, Christmas Lights celebrates the most significant aspects of the season. As the holiday approaches, seven women face their separate challenges and hopes and discover why the darkest season can also be the brightest.
In separate vignettes, we meet Katherine, who is taking care of her ailing husband; Julianna, juggling with construction paper, scissors, and rubber cement in a room full of high-spirited four-year-olds; Adrianna, struggling with the difficulties of marriage; Cassandra, tending to her toddlers; Victoria, searching for a love to call her own; Alexandra, waiting for word from her doctor about an uncertain diagnosis; and Isabella, discovering the gift of motherhood. The threads of their lives come together in a moving conclusion that perfectly captures the holiday spirit

"A wonderfully sappy Christmas book. In separate vignettes we meet several different women coping with various Christmas issues. In the end we discover that they are all sisters and all the stories come together. I wouldn't like it any other time of the year but it is perfect for christmas."
— Janell (5 out of 5 stars)

" I couldn't even finish this book--it was along the lines of the Five People You Meet in Heaven, which I also hated. Too much sap and predictability, not enough plot. "

" I was looking for a true Christmas story, and while it had some religious undertones I'm not usually familiar reading, I thought it presented a touching Christmas story about what truly is important in our lives "

" I listened to this on cd, good reader, good author, good book. It's not terribly long, the cds were only 3 1/2 hours, with glimpses into the lives of 7 women at Christmas, that all come together in the end. Not really LDS, but full of faith and hope and love. I really enjoyed it. "

" i liked how all the characters were connected but they didn't really come together until the end. the writing was a bit prosaic for my tastes, but listening to it helped me get through weeding the garden "
— Tammy, 11/21/2008 -
" I picked this book up yesterday from the library on a whim. I was looking for a light, easy Christmas read. It was light. It was easy. And, it was a little too sticky sweet for my taste. "
— Andi, 7/27/2008 -
" This was a wonderful quick holiday read. Each section contains a short story about 1 of 6 sisters with the final section describing their Christmas celebration as they all get together and celebrate the joy of a close-knit family. "
— Kristina, 7/4/2008 -
