Charming holiday story, and I'm a real sucker for those. A decision to open a B&B through the holidays leads to the arrival of a group of interesting characters who teach themselves and the town about the real meaning of Christmas. Delightful!

Good book and well-written. It is a LONG family saga filled with angst and drama. Most of the women are strong-willed and vindictive. The men are insipid. I'd have liked a little humor and more fully-dimensioal characters.
