Ratings and reviews

I've listened to this song every Christmas for as long as I can remember. I never knew that it was a book, and when I saw that it was, I had to grab it. Of course, that means I was crying almost the whole time, but I just love the overall feeling this book gives. It's not just about grief and loss, it's about the Christmas Spirit, hope, forgiveness, and second chances. Sometimes it's the little things in life we don't expect that touches our hearts and can make a world of difference. Kindness and love, can go a very long way. Find me on Instagram: @bookn.all.night

When you see someone you love so much past way if wasn't nobody you knew it will hurt because when I see someone hurting I will show my feels loving people is wonderful..

I loved this it made me laugh it made me cry, it made me realize how lucky I am to be living right now, we live during the rioting, the pandemic, but as long as we have faith we are doing great, because we have a Heavenly Father that loves us and leads us daily.
