review 1: A great story of hope and good works and love. I didn't know Thomas Kinkade wrote books or he puts his name on them and Katherine Spencer writes them. There are 3 stories within the story: David, a young soldier returning from Iraq trying to recover from extensive injuries; Lillian Warwick a cranky old rich lady who loves making life miserable for everyone she comes in contact with except Ezra; and lastly Grace and her Dad Digger who become the whole town's secret Santa. A great book for the holidays or anytime you need a good dose of hope and good cheer.
review 2: In Cape Light, unexpected challenges and gifts come when least expected.Jack Sawyer's son, David, has returned home after serving in Iraq. He was wounded over there and has several surgeries to help... more him recover, but he still is having problems both physically and mentally. He comes home to find things have changed: his dad is remarried and he has a young stepsister to boot. Jack is elated to have David back and does as much to help him as possible.David has decided he needs to get back to physical therapy. His therapist is very demanding and lets him know that he has to work hard to get back any strength and ability to walk without his walker.
