Summary: Holds your heart until the very last word!
Review: In THE THIRD CHRISTMAS Margot Early deftly reminds us of the power of love to heal the shattered heart. From the first page, the reader is drawn into the emotional intensity of this nimbly plotted, lovingly crafted novel. Ms. Early's characters are complex and vivid, startingly alive and sexy. THE THIRD CHRISTMAS will hold your heart until the very last word! I adored this book! -- Laura DeVrie

Summary: quite a finish
Review: Ok, this is not your typical Christmas story. David Blade is an unusually real hero dealing with the intense pain caused by the suicide of his troubled wife. Jean Young is dealing with shadows of failure from her own past. If you are like me, about three quarters of the way through this book you won't be able to stand the stress. You may just decide all the trauma is simply not worth it, and frankly, you may really dislike David ('s okay; he's imaginary!!!). But . . .this book has an incredible ending, more impressive than I would have said an author could pull off. Many stars to Early! (Those wanting a different perspective on the events leading up to this story should take a look at Early's Forever and a Baby.)
