Seven Christmases have passed since Sonia Pettit last heard from her daughter Jody. Since Jody’s departure, Sonia’s world has been turned upside down. Her husband has died of a broken heart, and her son, bitter over his sister’s destructive actions, has become rebellious.
Her greatest desire is to have her family together at Christmas, but after what Jody has put them all through, can Sonia truly forgive her daughter?
Jody Pettit O’Dair ran away to experience a life of adventure and excitement, but since her
departure, her world has been turned upside down. She’s been abandoned by the man she met and married, lost her job, and is unable to care for her two children. With nowhere else to turn, this prodigal daughter begins the long journey home and prays she will be welcomed after walking away so long ago.
Will Jody find forgiveness in the arms of her family as easily as she received it from God?
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The only thing that disappointed me about this story was that it was too short.  The idea behind it was very nice, and there are no issues with this--it is completely clean.  It is not a romance, but it is a feel-good Christmas story.  It is perfect for those who love happy endings, although I must admit it is not believable.  But I don't think that is the attention.

For a quick family read, this would be excellent.  I just wish it had been developed more.

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.  I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
