For a mother mired in midlife, Christmas brings a chance for renewal and rediscovery in this moving novel from the New York Times bestselling author.
For Beatrice Powell, the holidays are usually an extra-special time to celebrate. With her twenty-year-plus marriage, beautiful home, and three wonderful adult children, she has everything she could desire. But change-of-life doubts are making Beatrice a stranger to herself and her bewildered family. She only finds peace volunteering at the local soup kitchen, especially helping out homeless Charles Davenport. And his sensitivity and honesty soon comfort her in ways she never imagined . . .
Charles thought he had it all—until a devastating betrayal and the shattering loss of his family drove him to living on the streets. Beatrice is the first person who's truly cared about him in a long time. And little by little, he's finding reasons to care about rebuilding his life—and risking a sudden, courageous choice . . .
Drawn to Charles and the temptation of a second chance, Beatrice is faced with the hardest of decisions. But his insight, secrets—and the reminder of a profound past encounter—will give her unexpected inspiration, gratitude, and the strength she needs to find her way . . . perhaps in time for Christmas.
"The holidays can bring the kind of chaos, good and bad, that occupies your brain. It's easy to forget to bring your gratitude. Remembrance has that covered . . . an excellent choice if your book group wants to squeeze in a before-the-holidays pick." —The Washington Informer

      Beatrice seems to have everything: a happy, 20-year marriage; three independent adult children; and satisfying work as a full-time volunteer at a shelter. But every December she is reminded that she nearly died in a hit-and-run accident when she was young, and she wonders about the stranger who saved her life. Her melancholy is acute this time around, and Beatrice can see only problems in her life, from people canceling on social occasions to her husband falling asleep during their dates to her children telling her they want to keep their distance. Then she meets Charles at the shelter and learns that he is full of hope and determination despite a life of hardship and tragedy. Readers will think they know all the turns ahead for Beatrice, so they will be satisfied to find some surprises as Beatrice embraces positive changes and looks forward to Christmas. Best-selling Monroe (One House Over?, 2018) gifts readers with a complex and appealing protagonist in this quick read with a thoughtful holiday message.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
