New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber has written a delightful holiday story filled with romance, conflict and lots of humor.
Noelle McDowell lives in Dallas, but she is headed home to Rose, Oregon to see her family and celebrate Christmas and her birthday, which fall on the same day. Home has not been the same since a summer day ten years ago when she was jilted by her boyfriend, Thom Sutton. She never had shared her love of Thom with her family because her mom and Thom's were locked in a feud, so the end of this relationship was even more difficult.
This Christmas the warring moms are paired together for a holiday project that will keep the holidays anything but peaceful. At the same time, Noelle will rediscover Thom and decide to marry him.
The story is filled with laughs --- my personal favorite part is when Noellle and Thom's dads reveal that they have been playing golf all these years taking no stock of how the rest of their family felt.
If you want to give more than a book, here are some gift suggestions to pair with this:
a Christmas basket donated to a charity in your friend's name, or a basket filled with small items your friend might love. Another idea for this book. If you have a person in your life with whom you have had a misunderstanding, think about sending this to mend a fence.
