I won this book in a goodreads giveaway.

It is a wonderful story of a true Christmas Miracle. The author's husband has passed away and left her with three children to raise on her own. As the Holidays approach, she just cannot get into the Holiday spirit, until she finds a gift on her porch from her "True Friends", with a poem that goes in tune with The Twelve Days of Christmas. At first she is very angry at this intrusion into her life, but as the days pass her heart softens and opens up to these small treasures and the holiday becomes something special for the entire family.

I will be sharing this with friends before making it available.

Will be sending this off to NancyNova as part of the Wishlist tag game.

rabck from spoiledrotten; After her husband unexpectedly dies, widowed Joanne is trying to keep it together for the sake of her 3 kids. But Christmas is just too hard to take - too many memories. But thirteen days before Christmas a poinsetta from her "true friends" appears on the porch....and each day another gift arrives with a knockoff of the twelve days of Christmas. With the gifts as the impetus, their grieving hearts start to mend and Christmas becomes possible after all.
this one will travel forward in the wishlist tag game

I got this uncorrected proof via Controlled Release. It was included in Elizardbreath's 'Biography and Memoir Bookbox.'

I really enjoyed this book. It was very well done. Happy/sad/turning things around and re-finding the joy in the holidays after a death in the family. Based on a true story. Enjoyable if you enjoy a good cry. Which I do....
