One Imperfect Christmas

September 1, 2009
Natalie Pearce has always loved Christmas, but when her mother suffers a stroke while putting away the holiday decorations, Natalie's spirit is affected in more ways than one. She has a meltdown that jeopardizes her marriage; the only way to put her life back together is to make peace with her guilt about not being there to help her mother and to regain her faith that God will see her through the chaos. VERDICT Some stilted prose and a predictable plot in this debut novel are balanced by a heartwarming story that is appropriate for the Christmas season.
