A Moving Story

Author Martha Perez’ moving story conveys the true meaning of Christmas. She prefaces her offering with heartwarming reflections of cherished traditions, and takes it from there with vivid descriptions channeling the holiday season’s beauty and significance.

One of those meaningful traditions is that of making Christmas ornaments, a pastime the protagonist and her mother engaged in, hoping one day to open a store to sell them.

The reader follows in Juliet Chastain’s footsteps after a senseless tragedy, witnessing her despondency and suicidal attempt. When Juliet finds love, hope and strength to pursue her dream, the reader champions her turnaround.

As mentioned, ‘Christmas Ornaments’ is a moving story, although, far from predictable. One of the many reasons this forty-five minute read will linger after the last page has been turned.
