An early storm is brewing in Upstate New York, and military wife Lacey Prescott is caught unprepared when it turns into a blizzard. Defeated by her own lack of preparation and the recall of her husband’s Christmas holiday leave, her joy in the season is replaced by bitterness and anger.
In an unexpected turn of events, Lieutenant Matthew Prescott’s leave is reinstated. But the journey home is not an easy one since a Nor’easter stands between him and his family.
Amidst the storm’s fury, Lacey gets a glimpse of the past, present, and possible future, while Matt gets assistance from a mysterious stranger.
In a heartwarming story of determination, the resilience of the human spirit, and the unexpected kindness of strangers, the possibility of a Christmas reunion brings a sense of hope with a message of love and support from friends and family that embodies the true spirit of Christmas.
Between The Pages
This holiday story set during a winter storm was a feel-good read. The Scrooge-like premise gave Lacey a glimpse into her past, present, and future, and (like Scrooge) allowed her to grow from the experience. On his way home, Matt met a quirky, angelic character that added a bit of fun. The put-a-smile-on-your-face story was well-written and was filled with heart and faith. This book can be read in one sitting and was an enjoyable dickens of a read.
