Grace- Patrica Dixon-Womens fiction

I was lucky enough to win this book when I read it the first time around  and am so glad I

did. I have just re read this and once again instantly found the magic that this book holds

between its pages. Grace has split from her husband who has now found himself a

new partner, one that isn;t quite like his soon to be ex- wife.. The three children have

pretty much grown and flown and so fed up of being put on at Christmas when the

children are each doing other things Grace takes herself and the dog off to France for

a break. Max is also on his own and wonders who the lovely lady is that he saw on the

ferry crossing- another opportunity missed so back to his lonely wanderings all for lack

of courage.  After an eventful Christmas at home I enjoyed reading of another with its

inevitable ups and downs. Families and relationships- always a minefield at this time of

year. A heart-warming story of life, love, friendships and everything that surrounds

them. Anyone who has gone through a relationship breakup will sympathise with

Grace (and cheer at her “truth speech”). Characters you feel that you know and

understand after just a few chapters and scenarios we have all been through in one

way or another. We all need a good, reassuring story to let us know that there is

good out there and in the face of adversity, most people are really nice (with the

odd exception) as this story shows. An enjoyable heart-warming uplifting read.

A book is not just for Christmas…….

Grace - The Christmas Cottage blurb

Singleton Grace loves Christmas and having all her family with her on the day. But this year things will be different.

One by one, each of her three children announce that they have other plans for the holidays, leaving Grace home alone with a dilemma. Should she put on a brave face or admit she is hurt?

After deciding it’s time for a change, Grace books a cottage in the French countryside for Christmas.

Max is also at life’s crossroads after coming to terms with the end of his marriage. Making a spur of the moment decision, Max heads to the Loire where he hopes to clear his head, see the sights and escape the festivities.

In the meantime, Grace’s children embark on their own Yuletide journeys. Heidi faces the dreaded in-laws, Amber heads to New York to bag herself a fiancé, and Seth can’t wait to hit the slopes.

But when their plans begin to fall apart, they are all left wishing they were at home with their Mum for Christmas.

Will Grace get what she originally wanted or is a surprise in store?
