I was so excited when Shannon decided to do these Christmas stories for the Alpine series girls. This book like Sophie's Christmas Wish were definitely worth the wait!! I loved reading this book, I couldn't put it down!! It left me with a huge smile on my face and believing in second chances and Christmas miracles!! It is the perfect story to cuddle up with!!The friendship and love in this book warms your heart, and brings a smile to your face. I love the friendship between Allison, and Maggie. Everyone should have a friend like Maggie, someone always there and willing to go to bat for you!My favorite part about Shannon's books are the characters are so real you feel their emotions along with them. She makes you fall in love with all the characters and root for them to succeed, even when you want to scream at them sometimes throughout the books!!Allison's story at times broke my heart, but  it also left me smiling. This story is full of hope, forgiveness, love, and friendship!! The perfect combination for any book!I loved this unique spiritual retelling of the story the Christmas Carol. It is beautifully done, and warmed my heart and soul! I also love the lesson of second chances, anyone can change if they are willing to put in the work!This was a beautiful Christmas story and I look forward to the other characters stories being told next year!! I recommend this book, and all of Shannon's books!! They are all so good, they will leave you wanting more!!
