“Sometimes, I think we’re afraid to admit we want certain things. Especially things that contradict the image we have of ourselves.”
To make ends meet while job searching, Katherine writes people’s Christmas letters with a humorous take to them. She just earned a degree in public relations, but also works as a medical transcriptionist. Her neighbor with three cats is set on fixing her up with the single man who lives upstairs. However, Wynn Jeffries is the author of a popular parenting book that lets children set their own rules and boundaries. It’s the very book that Katherine blames for her two nieces now acting like spoiled brats. When she meets him, though, there is an attraction. Which will be stronger – the attraction or the objection to his parenting philosophy?
I have read many Debbie Macomber books and have enjoyed every one. Christmas Letters was a great stand-alone holiday read, although it does have some mentions of people and places on Blossom Street if you’re familiar with that series. I chose to read Christmas Letters this year as one of my December holiday reads. I read mostly holiday books in December to get into the Christmas spirit.
Wynn wants to make things work with Katherine, but everything is put to the test when he agrees to watch Katherine’s nieces with her one night. She is hoping to show him how wrong he is, but he is determined to show her how easy his philosophy works. The evening is rough, but their discussion about how it went the next day is even rougher. Some things just might not be meant to be …
I laughed several times while listening to the audiobook of Christmas Letters. The thoughts in Katherine’s head are very realistic. Each character comes to life rather quickly and makes for an interesting cast. It was a fairly quick read, too.
