Sweet and sentimental Christmas story not masquerading as high literature. ( ) Each December, I read a winter or holiday-themed book with one of my groups. This year, I selected an author I had not read before – Richard Paul Evans. Apparently, he is known for his holiday stories. This one is set in December, but it is not what I would call a “Christmas story,” though it does contain Christian themes. Protagonist Jacob Churcher is a successful, but lonely, author who has had a traumatic childhood. He was estranged from his parents after a family tragedy, and left home at age sixteen. When his mother dies, he travels to his former home to search for the truth about his past. While there, he meets Rachel, a woman who is searching for her birth mother. This is a romance but is not overly saccharine. It addresses themes such as mental illness, adoption, parenting mistakes, and the need to feel loved. It is an uplifting story of forgiveness and healing. The Noel Diary from the Noel collection by Richard Paul Evans About a man who has a bad past and wants to reunite with his father. Scott is his dad and he and another woman are on their way to meet him. Rachel showed up while he cleaned up his mothers hoarder house when she passed away. She had put him outside on the sidewalk when she had enough of taking care of him as a child. She discovers her mother was at the house at the same time and a neighbor kind of remembers her and knows Jacob's father will know more. Then head to Arizona and they find him...He gets the explanation he wants to hear about when Scott had asked to take care of him, they had lost another child... Noel is Rachel's mom and they have her diary and she's the one the helped raise Jacob... Jacob was lucky to find a family to raise him and even moved with them when they got a job relocation... Jacob is a writer making a nice living at it with his past experiences that others love to read about. Like the ending and didn't see it coming out like that, great ending. Sad book. I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML:Soon to be a Netflix film! In this holiday-themed novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Mistletoe Promise and The Walk, a man receives the best Christmas present he could ask for: the chance to rewrite the past. Bestselling romance author Jacob Churcher hasn't been home for almost twenty yearsnot since his mentally ill mother kicked him out of the house when he was just sixteen. When a lawyer calls, days before Christmas, to inform him that his estranged mother has passed away and left her house to him, Jacob returns not just to settle the estate but to try and reconcile with the past and the pain and abuse he experienced as a child. Also, maybe cleaning out her house will be slightly less depressing than spending the holidays alone, watching re-runs of Christmas classics. But as it turns out, the house holds more than just difficult memories, Jacob's mother had become a hoarder and he must excavate through two decades worth of clutter. As Jacob digs through the detritus, like an archaeologist, he uncovers many puzzling items including a diary left by someone named Noel, a young woman he has no recollection of, who stayed with Jacob's family during her pregnancy. That's not the only echo from the past. Jacob has an unexpected visitor, Rachel, a woman looking for the mother who put her up for adoption thirty years before. United by their quest to make sense of the past and rewrite their futures, Jacob and Rachel begin a search for Noel. Along the way they find more than they possibly imagined, including grace, forgiveness and a chance at love. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
