Despite the author being known for erotica, this one's got no sex, nor even romance. Just a story about a teen runaway coming home to her family, years later, and the issue of mutual familial wounds and resentments, and whether they can be worked out. Sweet holiday nibble, like a Christmas cookie, and best of all, FREE (at least at this time). geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
I'll Be Home for Christmas is a moving story that reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas. Noelle Mitchell never explained why she abruptly ran away from home at the age of fifteen. All anyone knew was that her boyfriend, Reno, convinced her to abandon her family. But when she shows up at the family house on Christmas thirteen years later to make things right, what's revealed about her absence will either tear her family further apart or bring them closer together. But one thing is clear: she will not run away again. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

When she was fifteen, Noelle Mitchell ran away from home with her boyfriend, Reno, leaving her baby sister, Carolyn, her mother, and her father behind. She’s been gone for thirteen years and, in all that time, no one in her family has heard anything from her. Today, intent on apologizing for her actions all those years ago, she’s coming home.
When she returns, determined to explain, will she be welcomed? Will her explanation bring her family together again?
=========
This short story focuses on the Mitchell family: mother father, married daughter, Carolyn, her husband, Sam, and their daughter, Noelle. When long-missing daughter Noelle arrives on their doorstep on Christmas day, it’s clear that there are still some hard feelings about her abrupt disappearance some thirteen years earlier.
But this story is less about the characters and more about the message: family, forgiveness, and love. It’s bittersweet yet heartfelt; readers will find much to appreciate here.
Although the story neatly ties up the plot points, readers are likely to find themselves wishing there was more to the story. After all, everyone wishes to know what happens next!
