This story of real-life with a little fairy tale mixed in was a fun, quick read. I found myself really feeling for Cora with all of her family issues. She has such a heart for her Savior but struggles in so many areas because of her family background. Cora has established herself as a hardworker at the company where she is employed and has a simple life for herself. However, her life is about to take a little spin into another realm; a realm where God uses unique people to help give Cora a little push in a new direction. The bit of fantasy intertwined with the reality of the story was an enjoyable touch and one I didn't find difficult to follow or allow. It was an element necessary to making this story what the author wanted it to be. Simon was also well-drawn as a man with two sides: his professional persona in the office and his "real" persona out of the office. I enjoyed getting to know the members of his family, including Candy-Sandy. Sandy was the receiver of so much of Simon's love, and I can understand why. She has such a sweet, loving personality and is lovable in her own way. Who couldn't pour out their love on her? Overall, I really found this tale enjoyable and a fun, unique holiday read. I would recommend this story to those who don't mind thinking outside the box of reality. You'll truly enjoy it!
