Heidi Lynn's Book Reviews
First, I want to thank Rebecca
Boxall, Lake Union Publishing and NetGalley for providing me this book so I may
bring you this review.
The Christmas Forest by Rebecca Boxall
is one of the few Christmas books that I have read that will stick close to my
heart. This Christmas story is unlike I have ever read before. I prefer reading
stories that are creative where the author thinks outside of the box. She did
just that. For this very reason I would gladly read and review for her again.
Rebecca Boxall’s main character is
Enid suffers from Asperger’s. What makes this book so unique and unforgettable is
you see the world through her eyes. You will see the joy she gets spending time
with children and speaking about her love of owls. How they are on the same level
she is. Sadly, in this book you will see her in panic mode and emotional lows
as well.
My ultimate favorite story line that
Rebecca did and needs to be highly commended for was the budding friendship
between Enid and Fred. I have read and 190 books this year. No two characters
deserved to be together more. Nor have I read a sweeter yet old fashioned love
story than this one. Fred looked past Enid’s Asperger’s and saw who she really
was. He loved her for her. These two were meant to be together.
It was refreshing to see Enid and
Fred write old school letters back and forth through the mail as form of
communication. This day in age with texting and email that is lost on this
generation.
Kudos to the graphic artist who
designed the cover it is beautiful! It immediately caught my eye and needed to
know what the book was about.
At the end of this book Rebecca does
give some references to Asperger’s. Many are documentaries and some books.
This book would be great turned into
a Hallmark Christmas Channel Movie. It has a lot of great elements to be a big
hit. I would definitely watch it!!
