I was given the lovely gift of reading this short story
before the author published. I have to say, this piece is uplifting and deep.
Touching on atonement of our sins, free will, salvation and forgiveness, this
author tells a compelling story. It starts with an annoyed and typical
teenager, sitting through a Christmas Eve worship service—guess what, she
doesn’t want to be there. She has spurned anything Christ-like. The second part
of the story moves into the meaning and the tear-jerking scene of what gives
Tara the reason to believe. I won’t spoil it, as I really want you to read it.
If you’re looking for a feel good story about finding and
remembering faith, this is the story for you. The author works through some
tough theological issues while making the story relatable, and most of all,
relevant to the reader. – Aerii Smith,

- This story has just enough to gain interest, tell the story, get to the point and wrap it up quickly. Bravo! It's not something I'd normally pick up as it does have a strong note of Christianity, but overall, I think a lot of people will get enjoyment out of this short, sweet tale. - Shanna
- I would recommend this book who has lost faith in christ and christmas. Excellent book to give to your children to remind them the true meaning of christmas. - Glennae
