From the book jacket..."Gretchen Daniels has recently moved into a condo with her two children to be closer to her mother, Miriam. She and her children are building a life together in a new community. A mysterious young woman, Melissa McCreary, lives next door to them. She has a few possessions, little personality, and keeps to herself. One day a local landlord who is looking for Melissa knocks on Gretchen's door for assistance. Melissa's mother has died and in the coming weeks the landlord needs Melissa to empty her mother's apartment. Gretchen reaches out and offers to help Melissa, but the apartment is a gut-wrenching shambles of a home. There is little worth saving except for a few photos and a note that is discovered on the crate beside the bed. It is unfinished, but in the two scribbled lines Melissa discovers secrets about her family that she never could have imagined. Can two very different women embark on a journey that explores a long-buried need for forgiveness, hope and redemption?"

A feel good book for the busy holiday season.

A quick, light read for the holiday season. Gretchen and Melissa, neighbors, are each going through their own struggles and each are approaching the stresses in their lives differently. Through an unexpected friendship, the two find themselves in a better place. For Melissa, she finds herself with more than she ever thought possible.

I selected this book from dabercro’s "Post Christmas" bookbox.

Two next door neighbors find out they have more in common than what they thought. This was another good story but the coincidences that happen are over the top and you really need to suspend your disbelief for this one.
