A review by truebookaddict
Velvet Snowflakes by Barbara Briggs Ward

4.0

As she has done with her previous books, the author has once again captured the magic of Christmas and family traditions...and with reindeer in the mix, of course. In Velvet Snowflakes, we also get to experience the glamour of velvet wedding gowns, and the interesting life of Ivy Nolan.

As always, what I liked best was the reindeer. In this case, the dear Walter. His story is touchingly told and it illustrates the precious bond between humans and their pets.

What I also liked was the focus on mentors and their importance in the shaping of the lives of young people. Ivy credits three such people for her determination and success, and it's her gratitude toward these individuals that starts the whole story off.

Once again, Briggs Ward writes a heartwarming holiday story that focuses on the importance of having cherished family and friends in our lives.
