REVIEW

Such a delightful book! The story reads at a good pace; written so that you want to keep turning the pages. It’s a family healing so it’s a heart tugger at some points, but fun at others. It is a very entertaining read. A wonderful new twist for a Christmas Classic book to read every year for generations. I’m gifting many copies to friends and relatives.
