Review by: Joyce Williams on Dec. 23, 2012 :
I am still trying to figure out the unexpected ending, but perhaps that is the point. Being a literalist, I found myself trying to compute how long she was at Fools Rush Inn Only secondarily did I consider whether the story was symbolic in the spirit of the Christmas season? Nevertheless, I enjoyed the great descriptive writing, the development of characters, and the appreciative presentation of human interaction. A great read for a Christmas that we can enjoy in the simplicity and peace of the season.

Sometimes life's ironic twists lead to a kinder,simpler fate. Beautiful writing, great layers of details and strong emotions lend to a wonderful story.
