Customer Reviews

The story lives up to its title -

The first chapter is centered around a civil war hanging scene, and I sort of rolled my eyes and thought this was going to be a heavy historical war saga that I wouldn't be able to get into. However, it quickly moved into the delightful contemporary story described above. I found it very enchanting how the civil war family, who died way too young without resolving their quarrels with each other, "came alive" again to help the modern-day family heal, reconcile and rediscover their love & committment for each other. A Magical Christmas tale which I enjoyed very much.

WONDERFUL!!!

This was a wonderful story as all of Ms. Graham's stories are. I read it in just a few hours 'cause I couldn't put it down!! I did have to re-read a few parts as I had too many tears in my eyes to see the printed page. I think I've read all of her books and this one ranks at the top along with all her other books about the Civil War.

A Pleasant Surprise

I really enjoyed this book. The parallel story line drew me in and the characters were believable; I found I really cared what happened to them. The surprise ending was fun and I found myself wanting to try and find the Oak River Plantation myself.

wonderfully magical!

I found this book slow to start, jumping from civil war era to present day. I stuck with it though and realised the information was of importance to the latter part of the book. The pace picked up and made up for the slow start twofold. The book is about a civil war family who suffers tragedy and a present day family who is having marital problems. I have not read a book like this in a long time. It was very good, and left a lasting impression on me after I finished the last page. A real winner.

Wonderful, captivating....I couldn't put it down!
