A single mum. A superstar athlete. A Christmas like no other.
Anna Heath is divorced, a single mum and trying desperately to keep her life in order. Despite her friends' best efforts, Anna has stopped looking for love and is determined to give her daughter, Ruthie, a Christmas to remember.
Sam Jackman has just been dealt with life-altering news, and all he could think to do was run. He's left his American football team back in the US, stuck a pin in a map, and landed in Richmond, London.
When Anna and Ruthie literally bump into Sam on the snow-speckled streets, he finds himself being welcomed into their lives. But what begins as a night on the sofa turns into the start of something special...
My Opinion
This was a lovely book and whilst it is set at Christmas, the festivities was not the main focus. Sam feels that his world is falling apart falling a shocking result at the doctors and escapes to England to escape for a while. Meeting Anna and Ruthie was the last thing he expected but will they help him come to terms with his future?
This is a heart-warming book that deals with difficult topics really well. A sensitively written, great festive book. A must read for the holiday season.
Rating 4/5
