Nancy Warren's creation, Sandy Forbes, is a woman with whom we can all identify if we're past 60.  Sandy decides to do something daring and escape all the cooking and cleaning this Christmas.  Her adult children don't believe it, and are preparing to descend on Grandma's house again this year; however, Sandy did mean it and finds new life and love (after years of widowhood) spending Christmas in a large city hotel.  This is a joyful Christmas story; but also should serve as an awakening to families who have come to depend too much on the older generation to carry on traditions which they themselves should be perpetuating for their families.Ms. Warren is a keen observer of the human condition and brings life to many characters from her knowledge of human psychology.  While her books are classified as romances, they also contain a moral or lesson for all of us.  This book is one which can be read in one sitting, but enters our minds for much thought long after we've finished reading it.  I believe all readers will enjoy reading this book as much as I did.This book was a gift from the author in exchange for an honest review.Dawn Edwards,Kindle Book Review
