A lovely, quick read about a shy, lonely artist who works as a night security guard in an art museum. He has worked there 20 years, sustained by his long-time friendship with former girlfriend, Melinda, and especially by his love for a woman who exists only in an obscure painting, hanging in a quiet corner of his museum. Christmas is Henry's favorite time of year, and so it is appropriate that he spend Christmas Eve with Rebecca, as he has named the woman in the painting, and that she will somehow be the one to give him the greatest gift.I thought the writing was very good and that characters were very well developed, considering the book's short length. I would be happy to find more by this author.
