Why Get This Book

If Christmas is hard because someone's missing, this story understands. Two years after the car accident that took Erin Baxter's life, her father John still lives in constant grief. He invites Kendra Bryant, the transplant recipient who now has Erin's heart, to Christmas Eve dinner, even though his other children protest. It's a tender holiday story of love and hope after heartbreak. Honest note: it's emotional, so keep tissues handy, and it's best if you know the Baxter series. Next step: read Matthew 5:4 and remember those who are grieving this season.
