Summary of the book:
This is one of several books and stories I
have read by this author. In ‘One Christmas’ the author tells us the story of
not one, but two Christmasses. A story that is relatable to many people around
the world. What happens to a family when their loved one dies around Christmas?
How can you make Christmas a festive season again?

I liked about the book:
