Review: I was getting this book to read Truly Everlasting which is a great story about two childhood friends that grow up know everything about each other but never dated. A little boys letter to santa brings a Truly Everlasting love. The First Noel what better place to find a good men then at Church. A man that love children and love the Lord you can get any better than that. Kwanzaa Kupendi the love of a good man that believes in you and what let you give up on yourself is wonderful.

Summary: A Heartwarming Story by Margie Walker
Review: Margie tells us a story that involves one of America's top health issues that occurs during the holiday season and that's Suicide. She illustrates how the caring of friends make every effort to save their friend's life. The hero in this story of course has first hand training on dealing with such issues, who objects to the friends method of helping but he soon finds out, blessings come in all different ways. Both Michelle and Simon not only resolve the main issues at hand, but find love in the midst of it all. Thank you Margie, for giving us a story that deals with a sensitive subject matter as suicide and hope that somewhere at this moment it will touch that one person's life.

Summary: Delightful Reading
Review: SomethingTo Celebrate was excellent collection of holiday stories. I especially enjoyed Felecia's Mason's THE FIRST NOEL.It is a nice warm story about how two single people come together and form a family. Kia has inherted her sisters son Josh and Franklin is a single eligible male and the three meet. I like the wholseome environment of the church setting and the human emotions the couple experienced. It is refreshing to read a story where we have "normal single " peopkle with no baggae ie children or ex spouses coming together.Kia and Franklin fall in love and make a fmaily and Josh become their son. Enjoye the normal interactions and not the ethnic drama we see in many romance novels. A pretty nice simple story that renews our faith in God and Love. Margie Walke's story Kwanaza Kupendi was beautiful story in its own way. Although it discusses issues of depressiona nd suicide it had some realistic aspects to it als. Michelle and Simon do fall in love even though they had not planned it and its story of vulnerabilty and also a helping hand. I could not get through Truly Everlasting too much drama for me.

Summary: Exciting, Heartwarming, Romantic!
Review: The stories in "Something to Celebrate" are truly wonderful! I loved reading all of them. I was moved by Kia Simmons' story in "The First Noel." Kia was a dedicated woman, who because of an earlier tragedy in her life, she was not up to celebrating the holidays. Kia had lost all the joy of the Christmas season, as well as her spiritual belief. However, she was devoted to her nephew, whom she raised from a baby after the death of her sister. It is during this Christmas season that Kia meets the love of her life in the form of Franklin Williams. Franklin not only comes into Kia's life as a love interest, but Franklin brings faith, worship, joy, and a renewed spirit into Kia's life. "The First Noel" was short, but sweet. Kia could not have found love and hope in a better place! "Kwanzaa Kupendi" was another touching story. Michelle Craig could not have asked for or been given better friends than Loretta, Reba, and Clarissa. Nor could she have developed a more devoted relationship than with Simon Stevenson. Michelle has a lot to deal with regarding her past and her family relationship, but her friends are there for her. Through their dedication and friendship, Michelle comes to realize that life is worth living and love makes it even better. Now, for Brenda Jackson's story, "Truly Everlasting." It is 'a forever love.' Love has a timing effect. Felicia Lavern Madaris has already decided to change her flighty ways and settle down to become the perfect mother to her young son. However, looks can be deceiving. Felicia has changed her attitude, but not her dress appearance. She is still an eye catcher to the men, especially with some of the daring outfits she wears. "Everlasting Love" is Felicia's and Trask Maxwell's story. Trask not only comes to Felicia's aid, but comes into her heart as well. Their love blossoms into an everlasting love. Ms. Jackson has done it again with the Madaris' clan!

Review: What can you say about Brenda Jackson. She is one of my favorite writers. The story about Trask and Felicia had be laughing, crying and applauding. This would have even been better if it was longer. I purchase the book for Brenda's story, but I did like the other stories as well. They both touched on some sensitive issues. Good job ladies.
