A fourteenth wedding anniversary is nothing to sneeze at, Elliott Banner knows, but it's not exactly a landmark yearโlike fifteen, or twenty, when he plans to take his wife, Laura, to Paris. But when a headache on the drive home from their anniversary dateโtwo days before Christmasโturns out to be more than a migraine, he wishes he had celebrated every year as though it were their last.
In this poignant, touching, uplifting story, a woman calmly gathers her family around her during the Christmas holiday to celebrate their lives togetherโboth past and futureโand to truly count their blessings.
A family history unfolds in a single night in this deeply affecting story that speaks volumes about love, trust, and letting goโa perfect holiday read that underscores the true meaning of the season.
โMitchardโs gift is her ability to present her characters in a compassionate light, even when revealing them at their weakest moments.โโUs Weekly
