Book Summary
The sounds of Christmases past echo through a silent house . . . Everyone in town knows Emerald Crest, the green granite mansion atop the highest hill: the legendary, lavish Christmas festivities that used to light up the nights— and the silence that followed when the parties abruptly stopped many years ago. And everyone has heard whispers about the reclusive, mysterious master of the manor, Henry Lafferty the Second . . . When eleven-year-old Julia Russell steps into the great house for the first time and meets Mr. Lafferty, the entire course of her life is altered. She meets a man who is nothing at all like the rumors she’s heard from neighbors and classmates. He’s kind and extraordinarily talented—he also happens to be deaf and uses a wheelchair. And when she overhears a secret about him, Julia decides it’s time for the town to bring Christmas back to Emerald Crest—an act that will change them all forever.
My Review
We all dream of the Christmas holiday where we can just sit with family by the warm fire,chat,eat some Christmas delicacies and just relax with soft Christmas music playing in the background.
Unfortunately for many of us as much as we want it, it's just a dream.
The holidays are one of the busiest and most hectic times of the year.
But I encourage you to slow down for just a bit in your
holiday preparations and read this book .
It's novella length and a quick read so enjoy and really reflect
on what the season is about. This book is so heartwarming
and full of compassion and the story is told through the eyes of a child.
A wonderful must read Christmas book you'll want to read every year! I really enjoyed seeing the recipes in the back of the book and can't wait to try the iced pumpkin cookies!
