"Home for Christmas" by Melanie Wilber is a pleasant general fiction story that will appeal to fans of "The Waltons" or "The Brady Bunch".  It's the story about a very introverted woman who is going home for the Christmas holidays to reunite with her family.  It's a good story to read before going to bed because it's not the type of book that will keep you turning the pages.The story has a nice plot, interesting characters and decent values, but what makes it so tedious to read is the lack of dialogue.  The first seven chapters have no conversation of any kind, except for a smattering of small talk and chit-chat.  After that, the author begins to use some conversation, but not as much as she could.  Because of this, the story was not engaging.
