review 1: Thoroughly enjoyed this 2-in-one book. I love Ms. Macomber's writing style and Ms. Goodnight's was nice as well. Both stories were set during the holidays and both were light-hearted, quick reads. The first was about Ashley, a young women who has just finished her education, who goes to repay a loan to her mother's rich employer who helped her go to school. Discovering quite an attraction, she begins to deal with the chip on her shoulder and let love in...great read. The second story was about Jesse, a young man, damaged from his past, trying to raise a young daughter, Jade, once his wife passed away. He takes her back to his hometown to seek the revenge that has fueled him for many years. In discovering the good people of this small town, he learns that being "righ... moret" isn't always what your heart really is seeking. Another great read. Both of these are inspirational stories with great life lessons about the God who guides us all.
review 2: Debbie Macomber captures the 'spirit of Christmas' so well! The Gift of Christmas follows Ashley and her relationship with her best friend's family including the Uncle Cooper. . . Ashley has always been in love with Cooper Masters since she met him at the age of 16. Unrequited love took a turn during thee holidays beginning at Thanksgiving and going through Christmas. The misunderstandings lend a poignant feel to their journey. . . It is an enjoyable read. . . less
