The Christmas Secret
The Christmas Secret | Donna VanLiere
5 posts | 8 read | 3 to read
When a struggling young single mother saves the life of an elderly woman, she sets into motion a series of events that will test her strength, loyalty, and determination, all the while setting her on the path to finding true love. Christine Eisley is the mother of seven-year-old Zach and five-year-old Haley. Her ex-husband provides little, if any, child support and makes life difficult for Christine by using the children as pawns. She works long hours as a waitress to make ends meet, but her job is in jeopardy because she's often late to work due to the unreliable teenaged sitters she's forced to use. When Christine saves the life of a woman who works in Wilson's department store, the owner of Wilson's wants to find her, to thank her, but Christine has disappeared, losing another job once again. He sets his grandson, Jason, to the task of finding the mysterious "Christy." Jason, an accountant by trade who has lost his job to downsizing, thinks he is "above" working at Wilson's. Soon, he discovers that this new task gives him more than he bargains for. The Christmas Secret is a novel for anyone who wants to see how love is a gift that keeps giving back; that hope is a treasure that never runs dry, and that faith is a miracle that is reborn with each new day. The Christmas Secret is now a Hallmark Movies & Mysteries original film. Watch it this holiday season!

I picked up these 2 DVL books at the Friends of the Lib book sale last January. Being short I read both for my #BookSpin category. Funny, each is a different story, but both have female MCs in which life has them headed to the same small town and both find an unanticipated DNA match to a close relative. I was calling the story each time - turns out both inspired Hallmark Christmas movies🤣

marleed @AnnCrystal @JenlovesJT47 @monkeygirlsmama a highlight of my Januaries is heading to our friends of the library warehouse for their sale on holiday books. I‘m a heat seeking missile for these little DVL and the Richard Paul Evans books that I read and decorate with every year. They are cozy little simple reads that help for finding calmness in a hectic season. 3w

Mehso-so

A hard so-so. The ending was rushed and felt incomplete. At times there were so many characters involved that it was confusing. I read this because of the Hallmark movie. The movie was better. It was short and sweet but not fulfilling.
