Sarah Morgan's Christmas novels have become something of a holiday tradition for me. This one even made me feel right at home with the Lapland setting. Like Alaska, Lapland, as described by Morgan, sounds fit for a snow globe during the winter holidays. Thus, I felt particularly at home with this book as I live in Alaska and we've already had some early snow. Can Christmas be far behind?
I won't detail the plot as others always do a far better job at this than I ever could. I'll just say that an unexpected trip involving child care duties, secrets, and strained relationships enter the picture. The book's title uses the word "escape" and that is an appropriate choice. What better time to strengthen and repair relationships than during the always hopeful holiday season? No one promised it would be easy, of course, but the stumbles and detours, not to mention the excuses we make to ourselves and others is all part of the process. That much of it happens to be taking place in a winter wonderland is simply a plus. Your heart, to borrow from the Grinch, will grow a few sizes as the story progresses while also aching for all those involved at the same time. Another winner from Sarah Morgan.
