Romance Contemporary | Holiday

Jennifer DeLuca and Ryan Mazyck are tossed together to work on scenery when Gloria, Ryan's aunt, and Miriam, Gloria's next door neighbor, are put in charge of the Christmas Eve Nativity play at Community Church.

Jennifer and her daughter Avery are still reeling from Michael's death three years ago. It was so sudden. Ryan and his daughter Sophia are making a move to Grandon to start over with their lives after Julie left them for another man.

Miriam chooses some very unconventional characters for the play and has a rag-tag group of "angel" singers. Can they pull this off and share the true meaning of Christmas without it becoming a comedy act?

Donna VanLiere's THE CHRISTMAS LIGHT is a feel good, heartwarming story that will certainly bring some light into your life this Christmas season. Jennifer and Avery are looking for answers to the hard questions in life. Both Jennifer and Ryan are looking for a new normal. Ms. VanLiere gives us a story about light working its way into the dark places of our lives, as she incorporates humor and sarcasm into the dialog to lift our spirits as some of the characters ponder the tougher aspects of life. The characters' thoughts, words and actions weave a dynamic web throughout THE CHRISTMAS LIGHT, bringing help and hope to hurting people. Grab a box of Kleenex for this one!

SUMMARY

In the small town of Grandon, five very different people discover the true meaning of Christmas. Jennifer and Ryan are both single parents, struggling with their own losses and heartache as they attempt to move forward in the present while still holding onto the memories, joy, and heartache of the past. Sixteen-year-old Kaylee is faced with a life-changing situation that has affected her whole family. Stephen and Lily are happily married and ready to start a family. All of them are facing their own struggles, and all are finding their way through the dark. When they are brought together for a rather unconventional church Nativity, they will learn that with strength, courage, and love, there is always hope. The New York Times bestselling author of the beloved The Christmas Hope series returns with this new heartwarming, inspirational story about the power of love and faith to reveal the possibilities that lay right in front of you.
