"A very inspiring Holiday story...I love Don Reid's writing and his characters are so lovable. I hope he writes more books like this one...its a keeper. Mr. Reid is one of The Statler Brothers, whose music I have enjoyed also."

" although not the type of book I typically read, this was a well told story, full of human love and human problems. "
— Laura, 1/29/2014" This was my 1st Christmas story I've ever read. Personally I didn't really find it to do with Christmas besides the time frame. But the stories timing could have been set at any other time of year and you wouldn't have missed anything. So I'm just a little disappointed that this was listed as a Christmas story and really wasn't. "
— Angela, 1/29/2014" Fabulous book. I finished it in the wee hours of the morning because I had to find out what happened. This is a sweet Christmas story about family and how important it is. "
— Mary, 1/28/2014" A cute story with a happy ending. My first book read on my new kindle. Thanks for the free download, Amazon. "
— Nichole, 1/19/2014" Interesting how all of these lives are intertwined. Great ending. "
— Doreen, 1/10/2014" A sweet little book that was free on the Kindle. "
— Cat, 1/5/2014" A nice little christmas story. Entertaining and a quick read. "
— Gretchen, 1/5/2014" I think Don Reid nailed the interworkings of a small town. Cute story, plenty of "small town" happenings--those of us from smaller towns can certainly see our own home town in some of the happenings. "
— Joni, 1/4/2014" I didn't want this book to end. I think the author did such a great job developing the characters I was bummed when the epilouge ruined any chance for more books. "
— Nicole, 12/31/2013" This was definitely worth reading, and probably rereading. It seemed a little scattered but not so much that I gave up on it. "
— Wanderer, 12/29/2013" A quaint and gossipy quick read of a town in two different eras. Drama ensues, all around the Christmas season. One 3 stars because there didn't feel like a lot of heart was put behind the writing of the story. "
— Amy, 12/15/2013" A nice book to finish the year, a story about life, grace and forgiveness. "

— Krystal, 3/22/2012" This is a book about families who's lives are intertwined with real problems and how they will solve them gets to be a page turner. "
— Estelle, 2/13/2012" A great book of real life people with struggles. About love and forgiveness, the true meaning of Christmas. "
— Grace, 1/26/2012" Nice little Christmas read, but a whole bunch of characters to remember! "
— Jennifer, 10/29/2011" This was a nice little story with too many characters who were too interrelated. You almost needed a scorecard to figure out who was who. "
