Kathy's Reviews > The Christmas Note

11/30/18. I read this holiday book last year. As Christmas approaches, it helps to remember what makes the season so memorable. Take a moment, enjoy a cup of tea and a Christmas story. 12/15/17 My third Christmas book this season was also my third Donna VanLiere book. I enjoy this little town and the recurring characters and the messages of acceptance and love. Gretchen has just moved to Grandon with her two children to be closer to her mom. Her husband is in the military, but for most of the story it is not known why he is not a part of this move. Melissa is an unfriendly neighbor, who through her own loss becomes involved in Gretchen's world. This is just an enjoyable holiday story.
