Perfect for fans of Donna VanLiere's The Christmas Hope and Leigh Duncan's Christmas At Sugar Sand Inn , Laura D'Ambrosio's A Gift of Christmas Song is a heartwarming and inspiring holiday tale of an unlikely friendship and the power music and camaraderie can have to heal a wounded soul. Grammy-winning singer Marie Anders can't perform like she used to. Her voice, which once touched the souls of millions, feels weak in the wake of the death of her loving partner, Sofie. Left grieving and without her anchor, Marie chooses to retreat from the spotlight to a small town in rural Minnesota. Though she planned to spend the holidays alone, an unexpected Christmas Eve blizzard sparks a chain of events that leads to a surprise encounter with 12-year-old Sam Johnson, a promising young choir singer whose love for singing has been stifled by relentless peer pressure and bullying. As the evening unfolds, each of them realizes that they can help the other heal. In the process, they discover that Christmas magic still exists, especially when the songs decide that you must sing. Touching and full of Christmas magic, A Gift of Christmas Song is the perfect read for anyone who is short on time and looking for some holiday warmth!
