About the Book
Winter 1981
A shocking discovery. A thirty-year secret. A holiday that will change them forever.
Daniela Jacobs never expected to find the surprise of her life when cleaning out her mother’s home. But the adoption papers she discovers tucked away in a dresser drawer are no figment of her imagination. With a heart aching with questions, she calls every number in the phone book that matches her biological mother’s name—Sylvia Burton.
When Sylvia receives a phone call from a woman identifying herself as the daughter she placed for adoption thirty years before, Sylvia wonders if she can reconcile her former decisions with her present life. The hole in her heart has never truly healed, but the secrets of her past have become so buried that she fears bringing them to light will upset the fragile threads of her marriage.

My Review
From the start, The Healing Holiday was instantly engaging and felt familiar. While tragic, this story was also a calming escape during a rather stressful time in my life. It made me thankful for the many blessings I have in my life and reminded me that no matter how bleak things can seem, there is always a light.
This novel took a few turns I wasn’t expecting, which continued to keep things interesting. I felt invested in these characters and truly wanted to see where their stories led. The ending was predictable but pretty darn sweet. It was nice seeing someone who had endured so much get such a perfect happily-ever-after. This was a great, relaxing read with tremendous heart, sweet moments, and showed that the holidays don’t have to just be hectic but can be healing as well.
