Hannah is 15 and has everything she wants. His father and mother work in politics, but the whole year they're away from home and only visit Hannah twice a year: Christmas and summer. During this time, Hannah has lived with her grandmother, who seems to not sympathize much with her. For this Christmas, Hannah's mother announces that she will not go to see her and also gives a shocking news: she says that her real father is not the man with whom she grew up.

And Hannah begins to search for her real father, a pilot for the Air Force, who has been an gone in a suicidal mission in Iraq.

I like books that are at special occasions, and of course, Christmas is my favorite time of year; so when I find a novel that is set in this special date, I do not hesitate to take a look.

I know Karen Kingsbury is a renowned author and her books have been best-sellers, but I had never read her books before and honestly I'm glad that this is my first book by her because I really liked it.

This novel is very sweet and dramatic. It tells a story full of deep love and hope; and shows us that miracles happen around us and perhaps we do not realize, also focuses on the importance of believing in what we pray because our prayers are nothing if we do not believe in what we are saying .

Something I really loved about this story, was to realize that sometimes our actions mean something to us, but others may take it differently. Sometimes the characters are driven by their own prejudices and fail to discover the truth for miscommunication.

For me, reading this story was like being on a journey full of surprises, drama and a great ending. I'm quite sure that I'll look for more Karen Kingsbury's books in the future.

I recieved a free eBook from NetGalley but this fact didn't influence the review
