A very moving story soft, sweet while still tackling serious subjects in a generous and kind-hearted manner.This is a beautiful tale of  a rebirth, of distrust turning to trust.While the story is not a highly original one, Jennifer Garcia excels at creating a warm atmosphere.This is a great book to curl up in bed to or relax after a long day.It is a reading full of hope and love.The author provides vivid descriptions and images of family life during Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas with a great attention to little but lovely details.It is nicely written and it flows smoothly.This book is like a sweet candy, you have to savour it slowly and not gulp it down at one go. One of those books which, if you just look at the content, is not anything special but leaves a "feel good" aftertaste.I liked a lot the relationship that Mia has with her daughter, I found it well depicted and highly believable.Sometimes I felt that the narrator was just "too lucky" but I appreciate that Mia and Dominic are really thankful for their love.They feel the grace of having met and I liked a lot their intense gratitude. It is a good message.Enjoyable and funny reading.
