MY REVIEW:

Felicia Morgan has always followed a set traditional routine when it comes to setting up the family Christmas tree but after twenty years of marriage, she and her husband have separated and she doesn’t have the heart to celebrate. When persuaded to keep up the tradition for her younger children’s sake, Felicia reluctantly agrees and one painful ornament after another, she slowly adds them to the tree as the memories attached to each one overtake her.

The Ornament Keeper is a beautifully written story that is both sentimental and poignant yet filled with meaning for each of its readers. I loved how the author used the memories behind each ornament to take Felicia through the events from each year to give her a true context of her marriage and helped her understand her own role in why it fell apart.

This is a lovely, lovely book with a clear message of forgiveness and reconciliation, the true meaning of the season. I enjoyed it so much and hope others will read it also. Perfect for a cozy evening by the fire after a long day of shopping or baking.

I voluntarily reviewed a digital copy of this book provided by JustRead Publicity Tours. A favorable review was not required. All views expressed are my own.
