Cathy's Reviews > The Christmas Note

I met this author at a Christmas tea at my mother-in-law's church. To be honest, I bought a copy of this book because of the cover, with a mailbox. (I love mailbox pictures and letters and stories of correspondence.) I know, I know, you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but in this case, I loved the book, too, although, the letter in the book had nothing to do with a mailbox.

I put this author on a mental list of authors of whose works, I'd like to read other Christmases.

It's more a friendship story, and not really a romance or a mystery.

There were two major plot twists. One, I probably should've seen coming, and may have been too much like an unrealistic Hallmark moment, and the other I didn't see coming at all.

Favorite quote:
"Sometimes we meet people, total strangers, who feel like home. Even if their home is filled with noise and dysfunction and silence that is beyond bearing, it is still home, with its secondhand furniture, worn comforters, and smiles from people who love you despite your lopsided personality and your crooked moods."
