By the same author as Wednesday Letters, comes Christmas Jars. Hope is found as an abandoned newborn. She and her mother make it through life with love for each other and grit. As Hope grows up she dreams of making it big writing for a newspaper. The Christmas that her mother dies, Hope's home is broken into. What could be a tragedy is quickly turned into a curiosity. Hope finds a Christmas Jar sitting outside of her house. Her curiosity is awakened and she smells a good story. Hope sets out to find where the Christmas Jar comes from, but finds a better story and a family.
I loved the Wednesday Letters by Wright and hoped to love this one too. The writing was simple and easy (very easy) to read. I wasn't completely drawn in but I do appreciate the message of the Christmas Jars. It would be a sweet little gift. It was also a nice way to begin feeling Christmas.
