Christmas, Present by Jacquelyn Mitchard

 

This is another novella that I listened to while crafting. I kept listening and ended up staying up pretty late in order to finish it. It is not your typical Christmas story with lots of festivities. It is the story of a mother who finds out that the migraine she is suffering from is very serious. She is told to draw her family close as she spends the little time she has left with them one Christmas eve.  This is a reminder that in a season of joy there is also sadness for others. It makes you think about what is treasured and important.   I really enjoyed this audible version of the book.
