From Amazon bestselling author Diane Moody.Sometimes the best Christmas presents aren’t found under the tree . . .Working late on Christmas Eve, college senior Hannah Brooks is in the midst of a full-blown pity party. When a last-minute customer brimming with holiday spirit invites her to a candlelight service and a late-night family dinner, Hannah reluctantly accepts. She has no idea this … accepts. She has no idea this kindhearted woman is the mother of Jason McKenzie – leader singer of Out of the Blue, the hottest band in the country – and Hannah’s childhood idol. The evening ends with an innocent kiss (sans mistletoe) as Hannah is swept away by Jason’s unpretentious manner.
Over the holidays Hannah and Jason’s relationship grows, but when turmoil and tragedy strike at the very heart of his famous band, their newfound love is put to the test in the glare of the paparazzi spotlight. Throughout her rollercoaster of experiences with Jason and his friends, Hannah comes face to face with her own beliefs. Who knew she could learn more about prayer and faith by hanging out with a bunch of rock stars than she ever learned in church?
The author first wrote Blue Christmas as a gift for her then-teenage daughter in honor of her affection for a wildly popular band in the late 90s. The short story grew into a full-length novel, eventually surfacing on one of the band’s fan fiction websites where it became quite a phenomenon. More than 80,000 readers stopped by to read the story, with over 1000 of them sending personal emails to the author who still enjoys reading them today. Though the story’s details have been changed, its band and all characters now fictional, the story line remains the same. Author Diane Moody has dedicated Blue Christmas to her now-grown daughter, Hannah Moody.

The characters in Blue Christmas are charming and likeable. The story is easy to read and engaging.
What can I say; This was a story around Christmas that took me on an emotional rollercoaster ride. First, Hannah was going to be all alone at Christmas, missing a trip with her parents, because her boss needed her to take over managing the grocery store, due to a death in his family. Then her last customer of the evening ends up inviting her to …
Just good easy reading.
Never thought too much about the struggles that face a world- famous musician or musical group but this gave me a better perspective. Loved the meeting and romance, finding the person that one feels God has lead them to and working through problems with prayer. A good read for young and old.
Was easy to read.
Couldn’t get into the story. Seemed pretty disjointed and kind of silly to me. Didn’t finish it.
An amazing story from the very first. Once again, family has to be connected by the heart not so much by blood.
Modern-day story that young people could relate to because it is about a band and it’s followers…namely one young woman.
Good story!!
