COLORS OF CHRISTMAS by Olivia Newport is a lovely story of love, second chances, and hope. This is not your typical Christmas love story but instead signifies what it means to be alone during the holiday season. A story where the holidays are more about the memories of what has been lost or who is no longer there than a true embrace of the holiday season of joy and happiness.

For many Christmas can be a hard time of the year especially when you have no one around to lean on. In this book, you will follow along has two people in two very different situations are just trying to make it through the holiday and their life by making the best of what life has dealt them. Not everyone sees Christmas has a happy time with lovely decorations and beautiful lights. Newport creates backstories that play well into the current story adding more depth and drama. I feel that this helps you to understand the overall story better since you only see a small snapshot of two lives at two extremely different stages of life.

COLORS OF CHRISTMAS really has something for everyone. While it is not your traditional holiday read, it is a different view of the season through the eyes of someone who struggles to find their way and enjoy the season. I feel COLORS OF CHRISTMAS is a book that many people can relate to or they may know someone who is finding the season a hard one to embrace. Overall, a good read for anyone who is looking for a different kind of winter read.
