   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  libraryofemma | Apr 18, 2024 |   This brought back many memories of pouring over the Sears Wish Book catalog each year. I can just visualize Bobby and Harry flipping through the pages and wanting each and every toy. Eve and Audrey knew they were going to have a tough time this Christmas in taming the Wish Book beast that had been unleashed in their boys. This was a precious story and the ending was perfect. God gave us Jesus because He loved us, not because we deserved Him, or we worked for Him. Just because His love is so amazing. I loved how the author pulled the story all together describing what Christmas is really all about. Thank you, Lynn Austin, for an early Christmas gift!

"From the bestselling author of If I Were You comes a nostalgic and endearing holiday story that reminds us that sometimes, the most meaningful gifts are the ones we least expect and don't deserve. Best friends Audrey Barrett and Eve Dawson are looking forward to celebrating Christmas in postwar America, thrilled at the prospect of starting new traditions with their five-year-old sons. But when the Sears Christmas Wish Book arrives and the boys start obsessing over every toy in it, Audrey and Eve realize they must first teach them the true significance of the holiday. They begin by helping Bobby and Harry plan gifts of encouragement and service for those in their community, starting by walking an elderly neighbor's yellow lab-since a dog topped the boys' wish list for Santa. In the charming tale that follows, Audrey and Eve are surprised to find their own hearts healing from the tragedies of war and opening to the possibility of forgiveness and new love"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

You can read this as a standalone like I did, but I do wish that I had read the first in order to know the characters better.
Tropes: friends-to-more, widowed single parent
Content: mentions a child born out of an affair
