This is one of those books that should be in everyone’s Christmas collection of novels for the holiday.  Jacob Churcher is a bestselling author whose mother has just died.  He has to return to his hometown to settle her affairs and finds more than one secret in her house of hoarding.  In his attempt to clean up after his mom, he also ends up cleaning up some of the past in his own life.  He also meets Rachel, a young lady trying to find her mother, Noel, who lived with the Churchers when Jacob was very young. I loved how the story unraveled slowly and how the diary entries of Noel showed me her heart and what she had been through.  It was an insightful and terrific book to read for the holidays with a message of forgiveness and hope for the Christmas season!
