Query: Not your typical sweet Christmas story

I have loved all the Elm Creek Quilt books I have read - except this one. Gloomy as an overcast December afternoon, with an overall theme of sadness and loss. If your idea of a fun Christmas read is page after page of sibling rivalry that ruins everyone else's holiday with their own personal rancor, then this is the book for you.The rest of the series is excellent, well written and very interesting. My advice would be get them, enjoy them. Just skip this one.
