The death of a parent is devastating, and Carolyn and Daphne are trying to celebrate their first Christmas without their mother. Heading up to their mother's cottage where they spent every Christmas together, they are planning to meet and reminisce as they always did as a complete family.. Those plans go awry when Caroline finds a letter from Aspen, not signed, but promising to meet with their mother on New Year's Eve in front of the Little Red Mailbox in Aspen where traditionally Santa letters are mailed every year. Caroline heads to Aspen and Daphne and her Fiancé soon follow. There is romance in the air for Caroline with Max. Daphne and her fiancé face some difficult times, Add in Caroline's job situation and the letters she brings with her that were written to her mother decades before, this book is very busy. It seems there are almost little novellas written between the present day issues. We are taken through a LOT of different themes in this book! It was really busy. Sometimes I was wondering if we'd ever get to the mystery man reveal! Will Daphne really get married in Aspen? Will Caroline and Max be able to make something of their fledgling relationship? But, my biggest question is...how did Caroline and Daphne score two rooms at a sold-out hotel a couple of days before Christmas in one of the most sought after venues in the West at that time of year??? I've not read this author before and although the book was busy, it was an OK read. Not something for someone looking for a HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY Christmas book, but OK. The mystery man reveal is probably one of the best parts of the book. Too bad it took so long to get there.
