Perfect, Poignant + Powerful

A friend recommended the writings of Michael Malone and this was my introduction. I am bowled over. This is a Christmas classic and epic Love Story for all time.

Slide into grace!

One of the best modern Christmas books I've ever read . It all started with a snowy sled ride that created a life long living friendship in a time of great racial divide. It's a poignant travel log through the 60s and on to 2003. This book is a Christmas classic in the making.

I enjoyed this story. However it was a bit corny. Also some characters rang true and others were rather cliche.

wonderful

This was such a lovely story with the perfect narration. So much better than the typical Hallmark-life Christmas read.
