MY
REVIEW: "An Unforgettable Christmas", from author Ginny Baird, is a
touching holiday romance filled with seasonal spirit that will gladden
readers' hearts. Angie Lopez, widowed at a young age, is a hard-working
mother of a young son, Pepe. Due to the twists and turns in her life,
Angie, her son, her mother, and her grandmother all live together in an
apartment in the small resort town of Hopedale, Virginia--which is
famous for the Hopedale
Valley Springs Ski Resort. Angie works as an accountant and salesperson
at Singleton's Jewelers--a first-class store which sells fine jewelry
and gifts. Angie's boss, Sam Singleton, is a perfectionist--a man driven
to excel in success. While Sam is a fair employer, and certainly not a
total "Scrooge", he remains remote in his relationships with
others--even with his father, David. Angie and her own family are very
close, and they support each other and make things work for the best.
When Sam suffers a memory loss due to a bad fall, Angie feels that she
must take him in to her own home while he recovers. Sam has no close
friends, and his father is aging and suffering from his own health
issues. Sam is embraced by the Lopez family: Angie's hero-worshiping
young son Pepe, her mother Elena--a caring and dedicated labor and
delivery nurse, and Lita, her free-spirited, artistic grandmother. It's
quite a different holiday for them all, and as bits and pieces of Sam's
memory start to come back, the reasons for his quest for success and
status also become clear. Sam's mother died when he was just a boy, and
his grieving father thought it best to send Sam to a private school,
never imagining the isolation Sam would feel and how it would shape his
outlook on life. The car accident which killed Angie's husband also
killed her father, so she and her mother were both widowed at the same
time. Sam and Angie have both known great loss, and they have each moved
forward with their lives in different ways. As Sam interacts with
Angie's family, she sees the warmth and kindness beneath his polished
exterior. He sees the true beauty of the lovely woman who is not only an
excellent employee, but a friend whose company he enjoys, and his heart
begins to thaw. Angie is equally attracted to Sam, but there are issues
they both must resolve. When Sam does fully regain his memory, will
they once again be just employer and employee--or is there hope for a
happy future--one that sparkles diamond-bright? On a personal note, I
loved this story even more for its setting: The beautiful mountains of
Virginia, where I live less than an hour away from an historic,
world-class resort and natural hot springs.
