I chose the perfect time
of year to read Christine Pisera Naman's heartwarming book, Christmas
Lights. Full of Christmas spirit and joy, Christmas Lights
helped me remember the true meaning of Christmas, which does not
include a million presents under the tree. Christmas Lights is a very
quick read, at only 120 pages and will leave you immersed in holiday
spirit when done.
Christmas Lights begins on Christmas Eve and
is at first written from the point of view of Katherine, an older
woman visiting her husband in a nursing home. Each subsequent
chapter is told from the viewpoint of one of Katherine and Joseph's
daughters. It is evident that Katherine and Joseph instilled
Christian values into their children as each turns to God for
guidance and assistance in the midst of their struggles.
Julianna is the youngest daughter at 16 and is struggling to
get the boy of her dreams to notice her, while her sister Adrianna
finds herself at a crossroads in her marriage. Cassandra is
working to push through a tremendous grief as Victoria has decided
she is finally ready to find 'the one,' but has she waited too long?
Finally, with her health in question, Alexandra is waiting for a sign
from her dearly departed grandmother that everything will be OK,
while Isabella turns a new and exciting page in her life.
Katherine and her six daughters come together at the end of the novel
to remind readers what is important in life and what the true meaning
of Christmas entails.
Christine Pisera Naman did
a great job having her characters embrace the magical feeling of the
Christmas holiday while thanking God for what they had, and believing
that He would provide what was still needed. I definitely
recommend Christmas Lights to those looking for a fast and yet warm
holiday read with a happy ending.
