Synopsis

Alexis Fletcher hasn't had a merry Christmas in five years-not since her mother passed away. Every December she remembers the joy her mother brought to everyone during the holiday season and feels the pain of her absence, even more so now that she and her sister are barely speaking. More than anything, Alexis wishes her family could be whole again.

However, with her wedding fast approaching, Alexis might just be ready to make some holiday memories with a family of her own. Alexis's fiance, Chase Dupont, is everything she ever dreamed of. He's kind, handsome, fully supportive of Alexis's career, and the CEO of a large company. But outside forces threaten to derail this happy couple from ever reaching the altar.

As tensions rise, a dramatic event causes Alexis to question everything. Will fate give her what she needs to finally embrace the season that has brought her so much pain? Will Alexis get her wish for a happy holiday? Or will her Christmas prayer go unanswered?

Insufferable mothers-in-law around the holidays are the worst! Cooing exes right in front of you. Babying the son while trashing you. One must have the heart of a saint and endure much! I flew through this in 2 hours which is unusual for me. I couldn't put it down! I very much so enjoyed all the twis......more

Goodreads review by Alysia on February 11, 2015

I never thought I would be reading another Rev Curtis Black novel or novella again. The series and the books I have read are too over the top in the “crazy black woman drama” department for me. I have to say this one is no exception either. There is crazy black woman drama from chapter one to the la......more

I can tell I'm alone here but I'll go ahead and honestly say that I wasn't impressed with this book. Maybe it's because I haven't read anything by this author in a long time; I just couldn't get into it. I found the characters one dimensional and over the top. The main characters seemed like caricat......more

The parables in Luke 15 are all about lost; the spiritual message of the Parables, God never stops loving the lost. In Kimberla’s Christmas novella she speaks to this point of pain by sharing Alexis and Sabrina’s story. Sisters estranged from one another because of childhood pain but held together b......more
