The Christmas Angel: A Novel par Jane Maas

This was a great story about several generations of a family who pass on a wooden Christmas angel. The angel was originally made for an intended bride who turned down the patriarch of the family, but then was given later to his wife and passed down through the family. Each generation found true love and continued the Welsh traditions in their own way.

Mad Women: The Other Side of Life on Madison Avenue… par Jane Maas

I listened to the audiobook and it was really good. The reader had a very silky voice that could put you to sleep. It was interesting to hear the woman's perspective of the Mad Men Show and how it was in advertising in the 60's. We've really come a long way over the last 50 years.

The Christmas Angel par Jane Maas

Get ready for the warm and fuzzies. The Christmas Angel by Jane Maas is an
incredible, heartwarming book that will soon become one of your holiday favorites. It follows a hand-carved Christmas Angel from generation to generation in the Thomas family. Through good times and bad, through heartache and triumph.

I loved how the story is told through journal entries, letters, flash backs, and narrative. It made if feel real as if I were reading someone's diary. I experienced so many emotions while reading this book. And the ending, oh, the ending, made me want to weep with joy. I loved that you got a glimpse into the lives of the Thomas family. I only wish this book was a bit longer so that I could learn more about the characters. However it didn't take long for me to fall in love with the characters, so I guess the length is perfect. This is a book I will read time and time again. Especially around the holidays. I enjoyed reading every page.
