The Garland sisters, Faith, Hope, and Joy, share more than just names inspired by their father's favorite holiday, Christmas. They share the inability to meet with each other during the yuletide time of year. But this year Hope is trying her hardest to bring her sisters together, but of course nothing ever goes as planned...

While closing her shop for the holiday, a mystery man walks in. The man, Austin, is from the town that their father grew up in and come to find out their grandmother wants to see them. Hope and her sisters had only met their grandmother once, and it wasn't a great meeting. Hope sees this as the chance to convince her sisters to come with her.

Hope, Faith and Joy hope that if nothing else they can find out what happened to their father. Their mother Carla took them away when they were little and they all thought that their dad would show up one day. As their stories unfold, we find out that Faith is getting a divorce because she is in love with a women. Joy just wants to open a coffee shop, and Hope just wants them all to get along.

What a great book. Mary Carter shows that no matter what family is important. Mary also tells the back story of why these sisters don't get along and why it is so important for them to find their father. Having lost both of my sisters, this story hit home. What I wouldn't give to spend one more day with them.

Even though this is a holiday book, read it any time and bond with your family, especially with your sisters. You never know what the future holds.
