"Miracles had a way of happening when people need them most. Kings were born in mangers; angels serenaded shepherds. Not everyone saw miracles when they happened, but that didn't make them any less real." -Kiley's thoughts, from the novel
This was the second of three short Christmas novels I picked up at the library about a week ago. I thought it was going to be a fluffy romance but it surprised me with a bit more substance.
The story begins with Kiley Gray, a young woman suffering from a broken engagement, browsing an antique store. She spots a beautiful snow globe and the shop owner tells her its story, how it can influence the future. Kiley is compelled to buy the globe and, sure enough, it soon changes her outlook. I thought that might be the whole plot but then Kiley passes the globe on to her friend, Suzanne, who eventually presents it to mutual friend, Allison. The snow globe seems to bring to each what she needs most. Pretty far-fetched, right? Right, but a little holiday magic can't hurt!
I will rate this one a 3---a gift of light and pleasant reading for Christmas.
