Christmas at Harrington's by Melody Carlson

Christmas at Harrington's

Oh I really loved this book. Very good story. It is a story about forgiveness and about finding the way back after being lost. Lena Markham was just released from prison. She feels like God has not been there for her because what kind of God would allow her to pay the price for a crime she didn't do. She struggles with understanding what God is like and why He allows bad things to happen to people like her.

She gets a second chance and arrives by bus in New Haven. She is suppose to work at Harrington's but the department store is not doing well. It has laid some of its employees off. Still, Lena is a perfect fit for playing Mrs. Santa at the store so she gets a job. She thinks that life is finally turning around for her but then someone complains that she is an ex-con. She gets fired.

The story is a great story about second chances and about healing. A nice story with a great holiday spirit. It does end upbeat. A nice holiday novel.
