The Christmas Wedding / James Patterson / 266 pages / December Challenge Winter Holidays

Gaby Summercliff has a surprise for her four grown children this Christmas.  She is getting married.  She records and sends a video inviting each of her children home for Christmas without revealing the identity of her intended.  The family has not celebrated the season together since the death of Gaby's husband, their father, three years ago.  Gaby has three suitors.  Their pluses are extolled in subsequent videos and we are informed of the life circumstances of each of the children and their families.  Although the story does not end with everyone living happily ever after, all move in a heartwarming positive direction.  "With deeply affecting characters and the emotional twists of a James Patterson thriller, The Christmas Wedding is a fresh look at family and the magic of the season."

"A mother is only as happy as her unhappiest child."
