As Christmas was approaching, Joanne Huist Smith was not looking forward to celebrating the season. Following the unexpected death of her husband, she was still dealing with anger and grief. As she struggles to work and keep her family going in spite of her pain, an unexpected gift arrives on her doorstep 13 days before Christmas. Each day following that day, another gift arrived with a note with lyrics to "The Twelve Days of Christmas." The note was signed from "Your True Friends."
As Joanne and her children try to find out the identity of the mysterious gift giver, they discover something else in the mean time - healing for their broken hearts. The gifts draw them closer to each other and they begin to celebrate the season in the spirit of kindness and giving back to others.
This heart warming true story is an illustration of how hope can come out of devastating grief and pain and how the gift of kindness can be passed on. It is an honest, painful and hopeful story of a real Christmas miracle.
I received this book for free from Blogging for Books for this review.
