Karen Kingsbury's The Christmas Ring is a sweet, clean, fast read. I enjoyed the story, the setting and the characters. It was a cool, windy day. I fixed a cup of tea and settled in to read, 3 cups of tea later the book was done. So if you have the time settle in with a book filled with love and a miracle or two.
I was given a copy of The Christmas Ring with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.
From Amazon:
See the movie in theaters beginning November 6--staring Kelsey Grammer, Benjamin Hollingsworth, Jana Kramer, and Jessie James Decker!
Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
While searching for her family's long-lost heirloom ring, military widow Vanessa Mayfield meets handsome antique dealer Ben Miller. The two are drawn to each other and forge a friendship that soon becomes a deep and breathtaking romance. But neither are sure that what they've found can last.
As Vanessa organizes her annual Columbus Cares Christmas Military Dance, she looks forward to her daughter's return from college. But Vanessa hasn't told Sadie about Ben. After all, Vanessa hadn't anticipated finding love again after losing her husband. And now she wrestles with feelings that are becoming hard to ignore.
Just as Ben is about to declare his love for Vanessa, he learns more about her missing Christmas ring: her great grandfather found it in France on D-Day, and engraved on the band is a single meaningful word. The details confirm a terrible truth, one that Ben cannot ignore.
Certain he now knows where Vanessa's ring is, Ben leaves town in a frantic rush. But can he stop a certain sale, or will Vanessa's ring be lost forever? Days before Christmas, when all seems hopeless, Ben and Vanessa learn an important eternal truth: Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
