My Take
It was a pleasure to read this heart-warming story.  In the days of online dating, television shows about crazy men and women almost hunting each other, it was a mental break to read a sweet love story.  Two people who are happy in their lives meet and fall in love.  No drama, no games, no desperate manipulations.  In A Holiday Miracle in Apple Blossom, June McCrary Jacobs reminds us of the goodness of community and that, in a time of tragedy, friends and family are there for support and help.  What better time for a story like this than Christmas.  Put yourself in the holiday mood, when you curl up with a cup of hot chocolate and warm your body and soul with A Holiday Miracle in Apple Blossom.
