I was expecting this novel to be a romance, for some reason. I kept waiting for "the one" to show up, but fortunately no such thing happened. It almost felt like a middle grade novel. I enjoyed it very much.
It is the Christmas story of an 11 year old girl who changes the life of a blind 70+ old man, overlooked and feared by his community. The novel starts with the main character as a 20-something young woman getting ready to throw a Christmas gala and it goes back in the past to show how everything started.
It gave me all the warm and fuzzy feelings a Christmas novel should, but at the same time it had the serious aspect present. I loved the family and I wished I could visit with them. As for the little girl, I see how she could be obnoxious and too much a miss know-it-all compared to her teenage brother who seemed to have got the dumber genes in the family. However, the girl is endearing. All in all, it was a lovely Christmas read.
I received a free e-book copy of the novel from the publisher via Net Galley. All thoughts expressed here are my own.
