My Mother's Wish by Jerry Camery-Hoggatt

MY THOUGHTS:

This was a quick read that extols the value of home, even when we don't see it. Ellee, the daughter, doesn't think that she is loved and appreciated for who she is, but comes to find out that she is. Great Christmas read!

ABOUT THE BOOK:

A little chestnut of a Christmas story, My Mother's Wish is full of nostalgia. The story begins in the 1960s in the Midwest, where Ellee and her mother don't view things the same way, starting with who Ellee is and her very name, which her mother insists is Eleanor. Ellee must eventually leave the conflict with mom and constraints of home, and runs smack into the arms of grace at the Comeback Cafe. Only upon a midnight return home with a trucker named Jedidiah, will Ellee find the comfort, joy, and unreserved love that she's yearned for all her life.
