Christmas In A Book

Secrets Of A Winter Escape by Sue Moorcroft is a very charming festive offering. It really does feel like Christmas in a book – with snow falling, festive stalls and good food and drink, plus the company of family who love.

The setting is an Italian village on the shores of the sea. There is everything and more to make the reader want to jump inside the pages and experience a winter wonderland.

Various characters within the book face job loss. “Losing my job… Then I was rudderless.” We are more than our jobs. They do not have to define us. Though devastating, our identities are in our characters and the love and kindness that we spread.

We witness the power of the media to either build up or tear down. A character has been unfairly portrayed by bad publicity from his ex – but with the correct handling, social media can correctly, and fairly represent his true nature.

There is a physical injury within the novel, as well as those who are mentally scarred. Good, caring hearts help with the healing of those who fear letting others in. People can be trusted.
