What Light by Jay Asher

  I picked this book up for two reasons:  I love the author and I love the color.  I didn't know what to expect from the book but it was a very heartwarming Christmas story - the perfect way to start the Christmas season.

It's the story of Sierra and her family who have a Christmas tree farm.  Every year they load there trees and sell them on a lot in California.  Things have been getting harder and harder for the family and they wonder if they will be able to continue selling their trees on the lot.   It's also the story of  Caleb - a boy with a very troubled past.

Even though Sierra only has a brief time with Caleb, there are sparks right away.  She is able to look beyond his baggage and see him for who he is now.  I love stories of redemption and second chances and this definitely fits the bill.

If you are looking for a light and meaningful seasonal read, you may want to check this one out.  4 stars.
