The #1 bestselling author of The Christmas Box and master of the holiday novel presents a breathtaking story of the transcendent power of love. Beth Cardall has a secret. For eighteen years, she has had no choice but to keep it to herself, but on Christmas Eve 2008, all that is about to change. For Beth, 1989 was a year marked by tragedy. Her life was falling apart: her six-year-old daughter, Charlotte, was suffering from an unidentifiable illness; her marriage transformed from a seemingly happy and loving relationship to one full of betrayal and pain; her job at the dry cleaners was increasingly at risk; and she had lost any ability to trust, to hope, or to believe in herself. Then, on Christmas Day, as she rushed through a blizzard to the nearest 7-Eleven, Beth encountered Matthew, a strikingly handsome, mysterious stranger, who would single-handedly change the course of her life. Who is this man, and how does he seem to know so much about her? He pursues her relentlessly, and only after shes fallen deeply in love with him does she learn his incredible secret, changing the world as she knows it, as well as her own destiny.

Mehso-so

I‘m down to suspend disbelief and have fun with a Christmas plot line. But geez, this story explains the potential devastation of the late prognosis to a particular disease. Then a time warp positively impacts a life because of financial tips from the future, but somehow the reader is supposed to forget about the very specific medical tip‘s impact to the future. The holes in this writing were too obvious to ignore.

Leftcoastzen Oh dear. 12mo
marleed @Leftcoastzen Thing is, I actually liked the story. If only they better edited the discussion of the undiagnosed celiac disease because I was content to suspend disbelief for time travel! 12mo

I think this is the only book that I have ever panned on Litsy. What a shame because I enjoyed one of the author‘s previous Holiday Cozy Reads and that is why I chose it. Ridiculous. And yes, the 80‘s band Milli Vanilli comes up at least twice. This was supposed to be my final read of 2017, but thankfully, I added a few excellent picture books, so I ended the year in a positive way!

Susanita Maybe you can...blame it on the rain. 7y

Jess7 I definitely will! It was such a wonderful surprise. 🤗 Do you own any of the books on your Litsy To read list? (edited) 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Jess7 No, they are all books I want to own!! I wish I could stay home and read all day!! Dang bills! 7y
Jess7 Ohh you and me both! I was just telling a colleague today, instead of practicing law - how nice it would be to be an editor working in publishing. However, I‘m sure there would be times it wouldn‘t be as nice as it sounds. I really don‘t like being forced to read books I‘m not interested in. So I suppose, that would be the draw back of being an editor... 🤷🏻‍♀️ 7y
