My Review of The Sweetest Gift by J.E. Grace

 

Two people. Two inheritances. Two houses. One town.

This quaint Christmas story is written in a “narrator” or “omniscient” point of view, giving it an “old fashioned” feel. This way of writing may keep the reader in the dark even when the character knows a certain thing.

Talented set designer, Becca Tate, is unsatisfied with her life. She’s single and seems to never measure up to what her father wanted for her. Suddenly, her world changes when she receives a phone call from an attorney handling her grandmother’s estate.

Grant Jacobs is quite happy working in an antiques store, although he is the caregiver of his adoptive father, who is consumed with grief at the loss of his wife. Grant’s life is predictable until he receives a call that he inherited the estate of his biological grandfather.

Both Becca and Grant now own houses in a small quiet town and are each drawn to their surroundings and the people. The houses they inherit fit their needs and they each desire to make it their new home and a new life. One day, they meet and the attraction is instant and mutual.

Their grandchildren discover hidden secrets from the individual grandparents when all around them a storybook Christmas festivities are happening, including town square activities and tree lighting. Don’t forget the snow-covered landscape.

A smile might tug as you hope for the magical Christmas where love blooms in three couple’s lives. Yes, three. Read the book to find out more.  

I love the cover too!  4 stars!
