Over the years, I've driven by a few Christmas tree farms but always during the summer. The trees of various sizes in the different rows in the fields visible from the road looked beautiful in the sparkling sunshine. Still, it didn't register the significant amount of work to take care of these trees year-round until reading this story. I have a new appreciation for the amount of work in cultivating each beautiful tree.

Angela Donovan and her daughter Caroline and Mark Shafer and Papa Shafer are all heartwarming characters for different reasons. Angela for trying to provide the best for her daughter even though she doesn't know how she will pay the overdue November rent, and now December's rent is due too.

Mark Shafer is torn between wanting to pursue his dreams in the field of music, being attentive to his girlfriend, and yet not disappointing his grandfather, Papa Shafer. Papa Shafer doesn't say much, but he makes one feel the magical possibilities of "miracle trees." Or, in other words, "Yes, Caroline, there is a Santa Claus."… (mehr)

This debut novel is a solid Christmas read. A single mother dealing with the trials of every day life, a small town setting, a down to earth family business and a touch of Christmas miracle. It put me in the mind of the Gilmore Girls series.
I think anyone who enjoys Christmas novels would find this satisfying.
I look forward to reading more of Passey's books
