Um… I have mixed feelings about this, and I wish this wasn‘t the first Dorothea Benton Frank novel I picked to read. On one hand, it‘s a book about returning to the values of an old-fashioned Christmas. On the other hand, it‘s a story of a Black maid coming back from the great beyond (80 years after her death) because the white,super Southern, rich, entitled family she worked for in... Cont below

MidnightBookGirl in life has become a train wreck. They are all terrible people. It‘s also very sexist- the women are cheated on and put down by their awful husbands who get a pass because… they have penises? And Southern women have to have a husband and should be grateful to have them because maybe they aren‘t gorgeous? And why would Pearl return to earth to fix this shit? It‘s cringe worthy. The beginning is a 93 year old woman‘s reminisces Co 4y

MidnightBookGirl of past Christmases, which wasn‘t terrible, but returning to her current Christmas is painful. It was a quick read though, but the fact that Pearl is still having to serve this shitty family in death is depressing as hell. 4y

Susanita Cringe worthy is a good description. 4y

A magical Christmas story of a Southern family trying to find their way back to each other and Christmas traditions . Celia Weston‘s narration was delightful.

Octogenarian Theodora, matriarch of the long-held Charlestonian mansion, believes this to be her last Christmas and she needs a miracle to save her family from their nastiness, greed, bullying, spending and carousing. She has a devoted daughter who desperately needs to step up and take control of this dysfunctional family. It's going to take an intervention of a "Christmas Pearl" to perform this miracle before the fate of the family is destroyed?

My #FriendsWithBooks bookclub reads our Christmas book in November so that in December we can have our Christmas dinner party and book exchange. It does feel weird reading a Christmas book before Thanksgiving! Lol 😝 instead of stringing popcorn as a garland I‘m eating it for breakfast!
