My Take on the Book:
It was the classic story I was hoping for, and though when I learned of a reading guide, I was unsure I'd like it. But I did. It really did challenge me at times, and what I think or believe. That is something that doesn't happen every day.
As a child, every year my Mom watched Scrooge on television, and I fell in love there. This story was almost as if that movie was playing along.
There really is something truly beautiful about the season, and this time of year.
Curl up by your fire, and read this.
