Dear Santa,I don’t know why I’m writing this. It’s not like I’ve ever truly believed in the magic of Christmas, but what do I have to lose? My mother can’t look at me, my father doesn’t know whose side to take, and my sister is in total denial of everything. Life hasn’t always been that great, you know? I never really felt like I fit in anywhere, and my parents always denied my sister and me the … and me the joys of any holiday, including Christmas and birthdays. Maybe … just maybe I want to try to believe. Yes, that’s my Christmas wish.

Dear Natalie,
Be careful what you wish for.
Ho, ho, ho!

Well dang if this wasn’t an amazing Christmas story; and not only a holiday story but one of redemption, faith, forgiveness, and love. I thought the story sounded cute and thought I would just start it right before bed, bad idea, I devoured it that same night, couldn’t put it down. The story was sad and heart wrenching in some places but also had this amazing lightness on the magical side. I liked the way the author introduced the Christmas elements but also kept the story about the power of family and forgiveness. I don’t want to give anything else away, so I will say that this is the perfect Christmas (holiday) story and it will become a must read for me every year. It stays within the theme of the holidays and makes me want to remember and celebrate what I am lucky enough to have in life. I received an ARC via Booksprount and I am leaving an honest review. I also want to purchase this in paperback for so I can add it to my holiday library.
