Nick
A seasonal Christmas tale of regret and forgiveness
Come Christmas Eve, the Newson family is in deep mourning for the tragic event that took place exactly one year ago.
In fact, the family has been torn apart by sorrow and guilt throughout the entire year, seemingly without hope of finding either a closure or a resolution.
However, as David Newson reluctantly makes his way back to his house, that is no longer a home, from work on Christmas Eve, a sudden violent snow storm blows itself across his path, leading him to meet the powerful, enigmatic form of Nick, apparently a chance passer-by willing to be a Good Samaritan and help a stranded motorist.
At it turns out, Nick is prepared to help the Newsons a great deal more than that. He is willing, in fact, to offer them redemption – but are they willing to accept his Christmas gift, and who exactly is he anyway?

This was an amazing look at a woman's anger and rage when her daughter gets killed in a car accident. Reminds me of myself as I heal from my son's death from his car accident at 16

I don't know how I ended up with this book, but I am thankful I did. What a surprising story and what a shocking journey of pain I went through reading it.

This was a very moving and poignant story of learning to to live with grief and loss. I would love to have given it a higher rating but the frequent and unnecessary use of foul language prevents me from that. I nearly stopped reading the book because of it.

A bit spooky in parts of the story, somewhat sad but also cleansing and peace finding. The story uses foul language to show anger. There are some grammatical errors (incorrect verb tense) but not too disruptive.

Love this story of a woman struggling with her guilt and anger after her daughter's death. My electronic version has several grammar/typo errors, but the story is fantastic.
