Krista thought she left her traumatic childhood behind when
she fled Taos. Her mother’s impending death draws her back to town and back to
the memories of her absent mother and her first love, Dane.
Although the book starts out rocky since Krista isn’t a very
likeable character at the beginning, it builds to a beautiful story of
redemption and forgiveness. As Krista sits by her estranged mother, who is
slowly slipping away with congestive heart failure, she must confront her past
and find a way to connect with her mom before it is too late. Dane, her first love, is the owner of her
mother’s nursing home, and having to deal with her mother and her ex-boyfriend
is almost too much for the emotionally fragile thirty-seven year old.
Through her mother’s journals scribed in a book of Christmas
carols, Krista sees her mother’s love for her, a love she never knew how to
share and a love that was hidden by early-onset Alzheimer’s. Will a miracle
give her a chance to feel her mother’s love?
I was given this book in exchange for my review. My thoughts
and opinions are my own.
