Christmas Letters (Hardcover)

Katherine O'Connor, a Seattle medical transcriptionist, has a booming sideline business, writing other people's Christmas letters. A run-in with Dr. Wynn Jeffries, however,ruins her holiday cheer. Katherine's sister is a devotee of Jeffries's Free Child movement, advocating "no boundaries for kids," a technique that has turned Katherine's into terrors. Jeffries just happens to live in Katherine's building, and their debate over parenting technique turns predictably, if perplexingly, to lust. Sticky with sentimentality, Macomber's latest is a fine companion to a glass of eggnog, but don't expect sustenance. (Oct.)

CHRISTMAS LETTERS was a very moving story. Katherine O'Connor bumps into Dr. Wynn Jeffries, who doesn't approve that Christmas be famed by giving presents to children. Is he being a Scrooge? Or did his parents prescribe the same thing for him when he was a child?
Despite Dr. Jeffries philosophy on Christmas, Katherine is drawn to him. Even though she doesn't understand his feelings on the Christmas subject, she confronts him about it. This leads to more arguing, which they both love.
Katherine's sister loved Dr. Jeffries new book "Free Child" and, begins to raise her twins by using his methods. Once she found out that Katherine knew Dr. Jeffries, she asked Katherine if she could get her copy of his new book autographed for her? Katherine agreed, even though she thought Dr. Jeffries wouldn't even talk to her after their discrepancy, let alone sign the book. Will Katherine and Wynn fall madly in love with each other? Or will the two, upon seeing each other, turn and walk away?
Debbie Macomber, a New York Times Bestselling Author, will make you laugh and maybe cry a little too, when you read CHRISTMAS LETTERS. Her ability to bring a smile, and maybe a few tears, to her many fans is something to be shared during the holidays.
