MY REVIEW

A novella that intertwines memories of Christmases past and present, The Ornament Keeper by Eva Marie Everson offers a heartwarming read for anyone who wishes to begin the holiday season a little early.

Jackson Morgan has given Felicia an ornament to commemorate each year of their marriage. Now, after twenty years together, the couple is living separately and Felicia is putting up the decorations by herself. With each ornament she unpacks, she reflects on the joys, the struggles, the disappointments her marriage has endured.

From her memories flow honest self-discovery, forgiveness, and the possibility of reconciliation—perhaps, just in time for Christmas. The story is simultaneously sweet and frustrating—I couldn’t help hoping for a happy ending—and I enjoyed it. The Ornament Keeper is a wonderful holiday story.
