Review:

"The Christmas Basket" by Debbie Macomber was a very good read of 'romance, forgiveness, friendship  and redemption.'  We find that Noelle MacDowell  hadn't been home for over ten years due to the fact that the marriage that had been planned never happened between her and Thom Sutton.  We also find Mary Sutton and Sarah MacDowell  who had been best friends for  over twenty years  were not now because of .a 'Silver tea set' had been stolen.   See, this tea set had been stolen and  Mary had never forgiven her friend  for losing it. So, you may say that this was a spat between the two families...the  MacDowell's and the Sutton. Now, to get the all and all about this well written story by this author you will have to pick up "The Christmas Basket" to see what this novel is all about.  You will find from the read a lots of laughter that will keep you on the edge of your seat turning the pages not wanting to miss what was coming next.   With Noelle's sister planning to get married to Jonathan, Kristen asked her sister to return home so that they could discuss the wedding plans.  Even though Noelle found it hard she had returned and this is where the story will take off...only giving the reader a amazing good read.  Will Noelle and Tom be reunited?  What will happen between the two Marry and Sarah as they are thrown together?  What had been the real problem between Noelle and Tom that had really started all of this mess?  All of these questions will and more will be answered in "The Christmas Basket"  that will truly touch your heart of friendship and love. 

You will find that there will be two storylines that will heave you very captivated in it all.  All of the characters were so well developed, easy to relate to and even likable.  For a quick beautiful read and some smiles you have come to the right place and Yes I would recommend "The Christmas Basket" to you as a wonderful holiday read.
