Father Christmas

review 1: Oh my gosh, I was overwhelmed by the continuation of Miranda's story. Not only does Miranda find the answers to her questions, but she gains so much more than she ever expected to find. Robin Jones Gunn write such a superb story, I think I could have went through an entire box of tissues!You won't want to miss reading these two novellas... Engaging Father Christmas can be read alone, but is so much richer if you take time to read Finding Father Christmas beforehand.Thank you, Ms. Gunn, for such an inspiring story, especially at Christmas time!
review 2: *Some spoilers ahead.* I enjoyed this book, but the storyline didn't take the turns I thought it would. The dustjacket states "the matriarch of the Whitcombe family refuses to bless Miranda and Ian's relationsh... moreip." It also says "family secrets threaten all her relationships in unanticipated ways," and "she finds the promise of so much more in the arms of a certain Father Christmas." First off, the matriarch didn't even have anything to say about their relationship, and the only "family secret" is the one we already knew about Miranda being Sir James Whitcombe's daughter. There is a random appearance by former boyfriend, Josh, which led me to think (based on the dustjacket) she and Ian would break up because of the matriarch's disapproval, and she would land back in Josh's arms. No such drama. Also, BEFORE Ian has even asked Miranda to marry him, when they are visiting Ian's father in the hospital, Miranda holds Andrew's hand and says, "It's Miranda's, Dad. We're all here for you." OK, a bit presumptious to call a man Dad when your boyfriend hasn't even asked you to marry him yet. OK, so all the complaints aside, I enjoyed the book, but I think I would have enjoyed it more if the dustjacket hadn't led me to believe I was going to read a totally different story. less
