Though Angela Donovan is out of work and needs money for rent, she yearns for her eight-year-old daughter to have a carefree holiday. The last thing she wants is the pressure of her daughter expecting a miracle. But when they pick out a Christmas tree at a cozy Massachusetts tree farm that's exactly what happens when they learn the trees might be miracle trees. Mark Shafer is soon to be the new keeper of the Christmas trees when he inherits the family farm. He'd like to run it with a family of his own, but his girlfriend wants nothing to do with farm life. He makes plans to sell so he can propose to his girlfriend and pursue a career in music. Then he meets an unforgettable customer and her daughter, and an anonymous gift compels them to learn the truth about the trees. With a buyer willing to pay top dollar for the land, Mark has the fate of the trees in his hand. Will he be able to see what and who is most important? And will Angela give the miracle of love a chance?

It’s been a while since I’ve had the opportunity to read a book for fun and this one did not disappoint! It fit the heartwarming Christmas story theme I was hoping for, but it wasn’t generic like most of the Christmas movie love stories are. Similar feel, though and could be (and should be) made into a Christmas movie. ❤️

4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet and magical holiday story
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2016

Angela is down on her luck and is doing everything she can to make ends meet. Determined to keep a promise to her daughter, Caroline, she goes to a tree lot to purchase a Christmas tree and something magical happens. The salesman tells her the tree is a miracle tree. Mark, the future owner of the tree farm and grandson of the current owner, doesn't want the responsibility and wants to sell to buy his dream home, follow his musical dreams, and keep his soon-to-be fiancee happy. Miracles happen all around in this enchanting holiday story.

Two words describe Angela best--obstinate and proud. I've never seen such stubborn pride! She is beyond determined not to receive a handout, no matter how badly she needs one. Despite her pride, she grew on me and I found myself liking her. Little Caroline is so sweet, blunt, and adorable!

Mark has a lot to learn about life and I loved the way events occurred to help him along his journey. I love the way he found his faith in life, love, and dreams.

The way the pieces to the puzzle of this story fit together really is magical and so much fun. There is a vague mystery woven in, along with a sweet, very gentle romance. I enjoyed this one but would have loved an epilogue.

Content: a moment of peril; very mild romance. Clean!

This is a different kind of story with some gentle “magic” in dreams (needs) being met. How the characters in the story meet each other or come together is charming. It’s a clean read and I read it in an afternoon. It’s engaging.

I happen to know the author personally, so I knew that this would be a clean romance story. What I didn’t know was how fun it would be to read it! I wanted to read a good Christmas story to prepare my mind for the season and this fit the bill. She gives great descript detail, but not so much to lose my attention (which is a common problem for me). Chapters are short so it’s easy to fit in a chapter quickly. The book is also the perfect length to read in one month before Christmas- about 150 pages. I am excited to read her next book next Christmas!

3.0 out of 5 stars The book started just fine; but the ending was very unsatisfying.

This is a very nice and heartwarming story. However, when you approach the end, all of the big reveals happen in only a few pages and there is no satisfactory resolution. Now if the sequel became part of the original book... then you'd have a better story (to my mind) even if the original book had a more substantial ending, with the promise of a sequel, that would have been better.

Sweet, easy to read, classic happy ever after story. A few minor typos, and a couple bewildering leaps of logic (for example, the mom should have been at least annoyed that Angela lied to sneak out on a date), but a light seasonal read.

The author has done an excellent job with this book. The characters are perfect and so is the location. I was sad at Donna passing.

A story where someone has the choice between coming into money, allowing him to follow his dreams of being involved in music, or keeping the family tradition alive. Add Angela with her young daughter for the love interest to make an enjoyable read, inspiring without being too "preachy".

What a wonderful story to read over the Christmas season. I really enjoyed how the characters at the Xmas tree farm worked so hard to keep the spiritof the season alignment and how they helped the young mother and her daughter through sim difficult financial times and how the romance evolved between the two central characters.. There were losses in this story but the blessings were all too sweet despite them and the happy ending made reading this book such a positive experience.
