An interesting story with a satisfying ending. There are a few somewhat boring parts. Overall, it's definitely not the most well-written book. It could have used a little more editing; there were several grammatical errors, and I felt that the author just kept going around and around, describing how everyone's emotions over and over without really getting anywhere. I did still enjoy reading it, but I doubt I'll ever read it again.

Not too bad of a book....however, if it had to do with anything other than Christmas than it would be a 2 star book. I adore Christmas and am infatuated with reading about it, watching movies about it, you name it and the list goes on and on. For a Christmas book, it was a happy heart-warming, predictable book. People have some trouble, trouble gets fixed, and everyone is happy by the fireplace on Christmas Day. Now, if this were not a Christmas story, I would probably have been better of wa...more
This book is about how life can be taken forgranted, how life can pass a way in a blink of an eye if you don't live it. When I give a book 5 stars it usually because the book moved me in some way or got some kind of reaction out of my feelings whether it was laughter, anger, crying, etc... this book disturb me and made me angry at one of the female characters. I believe that when you are truely in love and marry someone that no matter how hard times get or how much loss you go through especia...more
Good to get back to the families and friends at Cape Light -- I always find something to note -- to keep forever -- in Th. Kincaid's books. This lovely Christmas one was no exception.
Here's a quote for you -- "Life must be lived forward, but can only be understood backward." I like that one. . .

I picked this book up at a libary book sale to read during the Christmas season, but never made it to this book in my stack until January...decided to read it anyway.
I didn't even realize that Thomas Kinkade wrote books! It was a sweet, feel good book...for Christmas time or any other time. Who wouldn't like a story with such happy ending(s)?

This is a nice "Chicken Soup" good feeling type book, which suited because I read it while getting through a heavy headcold. I like Thomas Kinkade's Cape Light series, sometimes I think as much for the Kinkade paintings on the dust covers as the books themselves.
This is my ninth book in the Cape Light Series. Reading one of these books is like visiting with old friends - comfortable and warm. Sometimes I use these books as a "palate cleanser" between books - a change of scenery that doesn't take a lot of effort.
I love the Cape Light books...you get sucked into the lives of the characters in this little town and love to hear little snippets of how they are doing since the earlier books. Easy read...just a little fluff is good every once in a while :)

Reading the Thomas Kinkade books is like walking into one of his paintings, quaint, but life-like. The fact that the family has lost their house to a fire is all too familiar and realistic. Their responses are very real

As usual for this series, a very heartwarming and inspiring book. A beautiful read with much human interest and spiritual insight without being maudlin. I really loved it.
Part of my Christmas reading, an easy read but I found the main character annoying.
This book was a quick read--I liked it
A light Christmas read.
Very nice feel good story.
finished it last wednesday. I liked it like I like them all
I always enjoy the Cape Light books, especially the Christmas books. A satisfying read as usual.
Definitely not up to par with the rest of the Cape Light series. Slow moving, outcome predictable. Won't rule out reading the rest based on this one book. The entire series has been worthwhile reading and I would highly recommend the rest of the books.
I loved the story line and the way this book helped me look on the birth of Christ in parents point of view.
