Well, to my mind, this seems like it can’t be a coincidence, but in his grief he just sees a soldier needing help, help that he hoped someone would have given his son in the same circumstances. Along the way he sees a soldier walking down the road and offers him a ride into town. But he’s not quite ready to tackle the heartache of opening it, and goes to town to handle some banking for his business. He receives a mysterious package from his son, nearly a year after his death in Afghanistan. He is clearly just going through the motions and Christmas is not in his heart this year.
Just like her other books, Christmas or not, I was swept up into the story and experienced a truckload of emotions.Īt the start of this novel, we are introduced to Greg Cabot working at his Christmas Tree farm, polite and helpful, but drowning in misery. I have read every Eli Easton Christmas story she has written, and was thrilled to be offered a review copy of The Best Gift.
This stand-alone, long novella is a small town, Christmas cornucopia, May-December, hurt/comfort, military romance stuffed full of family and holiday feels. If only they are willing to take that first step. A little nudge from heaven may help build a bridge for these two men trying to heal.
Greg believes he’s too heartbroken for romance, but those we love never truly leave us. Friendly people, gorgeous trees, lots of Christmas kitsch… and Greg Cabot. When fate lands him at Cabot’s tree farm, he feels like he’s fallen into a snow globe reality. Badly wounded in Afghanistan, he’s spent most of the past year in recovery and was discharged after ten years of service. Sergeant Robbie Sparks doesn’t have much to be thankful for this holiday season. When he picks up a hitchhiking soldier on a snowy night, he finds the help he needs to get his farm through the holidays-and maybe much more. Since the death of his son, Sam, in Afghanistan, Greg no longer has the heart to run a business based on holiday cheer. Greg Cabot is the third generation to run Cabot’s Christmas Wonderland and tree farm in rural Vermont. With help from a Christmas miracle, two bruised hearts find joy again.
