The 13th Gift: A True Story of a Christmas Miracle

I was skeptical going in, but it was Christmas themed and not a gazillion hours long and it was still available at my library. It wasn't terrible, but alternated between overly sentimental and depressing. The writing was very mediocre and simplistic. The end message was nice and approriate for the season, it just felt like it took forever to get to that end.

Such a heartbreaking start to Christmas for this family, yet through the love and hope of some “true friends” this family learns to live and love again. I had many tears reading this one and could not imagine the pain of loss this family is going through. True to the Christmas spirit, small gifts can go a long way in the healing process. ❤️❤️
