Graphic designer Natalie Pearce faces the most difficult Christmas of her life. For almost a year, her mother has lain in a nursing home, the victim of a massive stroke, and Natalie blames herself for not being there when it happened. Worse, she’s allowed the monstrous load of guilt to drive a wedge between her and everyone she loves—most of all her husband Daniel. Her marriage is on the verge of dissolving, her prayer life is suffering, and she’s one Christmas away from hitting rock bottom. Junior-high basketball coach Daniel Pearce is at his wit’s end. Nothing he’s done has been able to break through the wall Natalie has erected between them. And their daughter Lissa’s adolescent rebellion isn’t helping matters. As Daniel’s hope reaches its lowest ebb, he wonders if this Christmas will spell the end of his marriage and the loss of everything he holds dear.

I really enjoyed reading this book. From Natalie's heart wrenching guilt over her mother's stroke to Daniel trying to keep his marriage together to Lissa trying to get her mother fired from her job to Belinda, stuck in her body and not able to communicate. I got the message, "God is always here for you and loves you even when you are blaming Him for events that have happened in your life".

I rated this book 4 stars on Shelfari and on here (Goodreads). This book, while hard to read for me, was very well written. Even though it is Christian fiction (which I have been reading alot of lately), I would reccomend it to friends and family.
