My Thoughts:

The Gift of Christmas Past was a sweet and enjoyable read from mother/daughter team, Cindy and Erin Woodsmall.  While I enjoyed this quick and easy read, the story didn't flow smoothly and I felt I was missing details along the way.  I would have appreciated more depth in the characters as well.  But with that said, the story gives you a glimpse into the journey of young sweethearts and the power of forgiveness.  The ending is really inspiring as well.

*I was given a complimentary copy of the book.  All opinions are my own.

Happy Reading,
