When I think of a cosy Christmas read, I imagine a beautifully written, heartwarming story about a family coming together during the holidays...and all the juicy drama that comes along with that. And that's exactly what The Christmas Sisters is.

Because of a tragedy in their childhood, Christmas is hard for Hannah, Beth, and Posy McBride. Each and them, along with their mother, Suzanne, deal with the holiday in a different way. Hannah is a powerful career woman that tries to avoid the holiday altogether; Beth, a stay-at-home mom, tries to paint a fairytale Christmas for her two daughters; and, Posy, the youngest, spends her time helping her mother create a perfect Christmas at their family home in Scotland.

But it's almost never the picture perfect Christmas that Suzanne wants. As Christmas approaches, the three sisters arrive home to Scotland, each one of them facing a life-changing event that they are struggling to deal with, and struggling even more to open up about to their sisters.

This touching story covers everything: the bond of sisterhood, the relationship with parents, overcoming a tragedy, and realizing that family is often the best medicine. This is the perfect book for a snowy, December night. I look forward to reading more from Sarah Morgan!
