Contrived, predictable and sappy.
Not a fan of this early Kristin Hannah. The plot was predictable. The writing was bland. The characters were flat and sappy. I am glad Hannah’s writing grew from here.

Who doesn’t love a little fable around Christmas time?
This one has librarian Joy broken from her divorce needing an escape at the holidays.
Her way is to take an impromptu plane ride to Hope which ends in a crash in a forest.
As she navigates her way out, we find her in a young boy’s life and his father.
During her stay at their place, she finds how much she is helping to connect their lives as the young boy works through the loss of his mother and his attempt to find closeness with his father.
But something isn’t quite right here.
If you pay close attention, you will probably get it.
It isn’t so much the mystery of what is happening with Joy or the boy, Bobby, or the father Daniel, or even Joy and her sister.
(And the story with her sister is a doozy.)
Still, I think we want magic to happen, and some how we find it through these pages.
A delightful quick read.

A heart warming easy read, nothing spectacular, was easy to figure out what was happening with the main character fairly quickly into the story.

You really do not get a sense of what this book actually is from the plot summary on the back cover. At all. And I'm really surprised that they haven't made a Hallmark movie out of this yet because it's perfect for one. But because it's so different than what you expect, you will probably finish it in one siting. It's relatively short and you will wonder, since it's so different, what is going to happen next.
