Review: This was a pleasantly pleasing holiday tale designed to give hope not only to those who think their life is in the potty, but to give hope to past relationships and the what if's. Sometimes all you need is a friend and the dark of night just doesn't seem quite so dismal.

A definite feel good story for the upcoming holiday season that should be a good read for everyone. No matter your walk in life. Take a peek at this little story and let your feelings flow. I promise a smile and warm fuzzies :)
