I've enjoyed other full-length books by this author before, and was looking forward to this; she did not disappoint.  This story is a little longer than a short but not quite a novella - it is a perfect length for a lunch break read.The story focuses on one family's dealing - or not - with their loss on the first holiday after the father has run off with his secretary.  The grown children are squabbling, the mother is miserable; the grandchildren are being bratty... and all are trying to pretend that things are just like usual.  Unfortunately for the one single sister, 'usual' means that someone has to wear the Easter Bunny suit that her father always put on to hand out baskets on Easter.  Guess who has to do it this year???  It's a comedy of errors, and in spite of it all, the family learns something about themselves, and there's even a budding romance as a subplot.This is definitely worth reading - it's a situation that many people will be able to relate to, and it shows promise as a continuing story as the author writes more to represent other major holidays.Note on Kindle formatting:  Very good.  I did not note any issues.
