CHRISTMAS LIGHTS

Hardback
Women's Fiction

 

Seven very different women at Christmas.  Each woman’s story is told in a short story and culminates in their common bond.  First we have Katherine who has to cope with her husband having Alzheimers.  Julianna is next, a teenager who is about to win the affections of a boy at church.  Then comes Adrianna, who is trying to piece together her broken marriage.  Cassandra is trying to meet the Christmas holidays without her deceased baby boy.  Victoria is a young single woman who is about to meet a handsome, interesting neighbor and lastly, Isabella, a mother-to-be  is very anxious about adopting a child and raising him as her own.  Seven different women, but seven women who are bonded together by one thing, the love of the family. 

This is the perfect read for the Christmas season.  A read to warm the heart and fill the soul with good and positive thoughts.  These stories about everyday women, their trials and tribulations, their positive outlooks and general faith-filled attitude will inspire and lift the reader.  This a short read and great to snuggle up on the sofa with on a chilly night.  These stories will have the reader smiling, sighing and even shedding a tear.  Ms. Naman draws the reader into each emotion filled story and the reader can identify with each woman.  This reviewer highly recommends this book.  Especially lovers of the Chicken Soup for the Soul books will enjoy this a lot.  It isn’t surprising to know that this talented writer also contributes to these books too.
