I chose this as one of the CTRR Awards, so some of you may recognize it from then. However, being that our theme is Christmas and this is a definite Christmas tale with a message of hope, forgiveness, and growing up I wanted to include it again.
Author bio: I live in Portland, Maine, with my husband Stephen, an architect and photographer, and our amazingly fabulous cats, Jack, Betty and Cyrus. When I’m not writing, I usually can be found with my head in a book. I try to read widely; still, I do play favorites with authors such as Peter Ackroyd and Patrick McGrath.
One Week in December is a heartfelt story of the struggles that Becca goes through as she contemplates tearing her family apart. Ms. Chamberlin writes with unimaginable talent, enough so that each angry feeling and hurtful plea that fell from Becca’s lips had me wanting to rave against all those who have done her wrong. Unbelievably, as the character’s feelings of betrayal turned into something else, and the revelations began to unfold within her mind, I found myself just as easily accepting what was going on within the novel. This outstanding book will pull you into the storyline and have you feeling as if you have been sucker punched as each emotion and event unfurls within the pages. A must read book for all!
