A Baxter Family
Christmas
Author: Karen
Kingsbury
Publisher: Howard Books
Pages: 272
Audience: Adults
Genre: Fiction
This is
the first Karen Kingsbury book I have read and in my opinion Ms. Kingsbury is a
wonderful storyteller!
Karen
Kingsbury’s latest book is a continuation of the Baxter family story. The Baxter family suffered a terrible loss of
Erin Baxter Hogan, her husband, and three of their four children in a car
accident two years ago. Two years later,
John Baxter, the patriarch of the family reaches out to the woman who received
his daughter’s heart, Kendra Bryant, and invites her to Christmas dinner with
his family. John’s invite is met with
mixed emotions within the Baxter family.
This invite causes division and conflicted feelings, with some of the
family against meeting Kendra Bryant. In
another storyline, Maddie Baxter West, has a special prayer request and meaning
this Christmas.
These
characters are very relatable and their stories will touch your heart. Karen Kingsbury brings their story to life so
vividly. This story tells of loss, love,
and forgiveness. I was sad that I
reached the end of the book because I wanted to spend more time with this
family. I hope that Ms. Kingsbury writes
more about this family in the future.
Happy Reading!
