She hasnt spoken to her daughters in over five years and she is more alone than ever. When she has an accident, she just wants her daughter. A daughter her assistant wasnt even aware of, but she comes. Gayle realises she needs to fix her family so invites herself for christmas with Samantha and Ella
Samantha and Ella are shocked and wary about this change in their mother and can't say they are leaping for joy at spending christmas with her. However, they do and the family along with Ellas husband and daughter head off to Scotland to sample the festive delights.
At times this book was raw and so emotional as they family battled to heal all their wounds. Conversations that should have taken place many years ago were bubbling to the surface and Sarah writes them in a way that she captures all the emotions and tensions of family life. She also manages to capture the pure magic of christmas and especially through a childs eyes.
She has created characters with flaws that are open to addressing them, they are realistic and she has created something but honest and magic all in one read. The atmospheres she has created is just something else, you can hear the sounds, smell the cooking and see the snow. Another festive read that really picks up your spirits and is exactly what everyone needs to read right now.
