The book "Christmas Jars" by Jason F. Wright is one of the BEST Christmas books I have ever read! I just bought it this past Sunday, started reading it, couldn't put it down until I was done. A good friend of mine, Michelle M., told me about the book last Christmas, but the bookstores were out of it. So this year I made sure I got a copy. It's a very moving story, that stays with you forever.
Editorial Review from http://www.amazon.com/ ...
"In a plot reminiscent of Penelope Stokes's The Blue Bottle Club and Angela Hunt's The Note, a journalist happens upon a human interest story that winds up teaching her lessons about love and forgiveness and renewing her own faith in human kindness. On Christmas Eve, twenty-something Hope Jensen is quietly grieving the recent loss of her adoptive mother when her apartment is robbed. The one bright spot in the midst of Hope's despair is a small jar full of money someone has anonymously left on her doorstep. Eager to learn the source of this unexpected generosity, Hope uses her newswoman instincts to find other recipients of "Christmas jars," digging until her search leads her to the family who first began the tradition of saving a year's worth of spare change to give to someone in need at the holiday."
I love this book....makes you want to follow the same path.
