The Christmas Collector - Kristina McMorris

The Story...

Estate liquidator Jenna Matthews isn't one for Christmas nostalgia. But when one grandmother's keepsakes suggest a secret life, unwrapping the mystery leads Jenna - and her client's handsome grandson - to the true heart of the holiday spirit...

A Reader's Experience...

Another solid lesson about facing up to the regrets of your past, moving on and renewing relationships. We are reminded as readers of what we truly value in our lives - our memories and experiences, feelings and relationships that truly form the person we are. The characters in the story go from denying or questioning these matters to truly embracing and honoring them, and to a true appreciation of the precious gifts that money can't buy. To know of a loved one's past, of makes them who they are is to bring a clarity and understanding that is otherwise missing, and to bring an irrreplacable worth and value in to new light. The more we completely know someone, the more cherished and facinating they become as we want to know more, to continue their story and see it through to satisfying ends and new beginnings.
