After spending half of her life in foster care, Lauren Gabriel is now 20 years old and still longing for a home and family. She's barely surviving as a grocery store cashier and dreading another lonely Christmas. After witnessing a hit-and-run accident in the neighboring town of Grandon, she's soon drawn into the community and even volunteers at the annual Christmas fundraiser for Glory's Place, a center that has a food pantry and after-school care for down-on-their-luck families. Local residents embrace Lauren, and she begins to hope that she just might end up with a real family for Christmas after all. VERDICT With eight other yuletide novels under her belt, VanLiere (The Christmas Light) is an expert at tugging heartstrings, and this sincere tearjerker delivers.
