| A Book Review |
If you are looking for a delightful, feel-good book to read around the holiday season, I would like to suggest Comfort and Joy by Kristin Hannah. Kristin Hannah is the award-winning author of more than 20 books, and I feel that you can never go wrong in picking one of her books to read. Comfort and Joy was the hostesses pick for our October book club and everyone in our club loved the book.
Book Summary
Joy Candellaro has had a very rough year with a divorce and finding out her sister is marrying her ex-husband. Christmas has always been her favorite time of year but this year she is feeling rather alone and not in the mood to celebrate. She decides to take off by herself and boards a plane to head into the beautiful Pacific Northwest in Washington state. A plane crash waylays her plans, and she finds herself walking alone into a small town and then out of town into the beautiful Olympic rainforest.
Her walk ends near a hunting lodge where she meets two people who will change her life. First, she meets young Bobby O'Shea who is getting ready to celebrate his first Christmas without his mom. Bobby's dad, Daniel is very protective of his young son and is slow to warm up to Joy, but eventually they become close. As Christmas is approaching Bobby and Joy surprise his dad with a tree and plans for the holidays. They are all looking forward to a magical Christmas till Christmas Eve comes and Joy's world is ripped apart.
This is a book you must read to find out if the magic of Christmas will reunite this delightful cast of characters.

Oh, my! I expected something totally different when I read the title of the book. I couldn't help but wonder how in the world Joy's life could be ripped anymore apart. Sounds like a book I must read because now I want to know what happened.
ReplyDeleteObviously, Kristin Hannah is an author to be read, judging by your review of "Comfort and Joy" and the many other titles read and reviewed by the Review This Reviews group!. Definitely a book to be read. Thanks for introducing me to both this book and the author, Mary Beth.
ReplyDeleteOh my, I was looking for a happy ending.
ReplyDeleteKristin Hannah is a deservedly popular author. I’m anxious to learn whether Joy, Bobby and Daniel eventually find their happily-ever-after (apart or together).
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite authors. Kristen Hannah is just so easy to read and enjoy. No wonder she has so many books and I have never picked one of them up and regretted it. Each story is captivating and keeps you turning those pages. I will have to look for this one too! Thanks Mary Beth!
