Resumen del Editor
It began with a quarrel over which newborn should be the baby Jesus in the town's Christmas pageant. Decades later, two scientists arrive to study small-town genetic patterns, only to run up against the invisible walls that split the leading citizens into two congregations that can only be joined by love and forgiveness - and maybe a little deception, because there might be some things people just don't need to know.

Becoming Duchess Goldblatt is two stories: that of the reclusive real-life writer who created a fictional character out of loneliness and thin air, and that of the magical Duchess Goldblatt herself, a bright light in the darkness of social media. Fans around the world are drawn to Her Grace's voice, her wit, her life-affirming love for all humanity, and the fun and friendship of the community that's sprung up around her.

Historia
That's the question that has haunted 14-year-old Ezekiel Blast all his life. But he's not a thief, he just has a talent for finding things. Not a superpower - a micropower. Because what good is finding lost bicycles and hair scrunchies, especially when you return them to their owners and everyone thinks you must have stolen them in the first place? If only there were some way to use Ezekiel's micropower for good, to turn a curse into a blessing. His friend Beth thinks there must be, and so does a police detective investigating the disappearance of a little girl.

Historia
When Edward M. Hallowell was 11, a voice out of nowhere told him he should become a psychiatrist. A mental health professional of the time would have called this psychosis. But young Edward (Ned) took it in stride, despite not quite knowing what "psychiatrist" meant. With a psychotic father, an alcoholic mother, an abusive stepfather, and two so-called learning disabilities of his own, Ned was accustomed to unpredictable behaviour from those around him and to a mind he felt he couldn't always control.

Historia
Beloved author Elizabeth Gilbert returns to fiction with a unique love story set in the New York City theater world during the 1940s. Told from the perspective of an older woman as she looks back on her youth with both pleasure and regret (but mostly pleasure), City of Girls explores themes of female sexuality and promiscuity, as well as the idiosyncrasies of true love. In 1940, nineteen-year-old Vivian Morris has just been kicked out of Vassar College, owing to her lackluster freshman-year performance.

What do we really know about modern practicing polygamists - not fictional ones like the Henrickson family on HBO’s Big Love? We’ve seen the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the news, the underage brides in pioneer dresses on a Texas ranch. But the FLDS is just one of many groups that have broken with mainstream Mormonism to follow those parts of Joseph Smith’s doctrine disavowed by the LDS Church. Gaining unprecedented access to these communities, journalist Sanjiv Bhattacharya reveals a shadow country....

Heloise considers it a blessing to be a person who seldom attracts attention. In her suburb, she's just a mom, the young widow with the forgettable job, who somehow never misses a soccer game. In the state capital, she's the redheaded lobbyist with a good cause and a mediocre track record. But in discreet hotel rooms throughout the area, she's the woman of your dreams - if you can afford the hourly fee. For more than a decade, Heloise believed she was safe, managing to keep up this rigidly compartmentalized life. But her secret life is under siege. One county over, another so-called suburban madam has been found dead in her car, an apparent suicide.

Daphne Maritch doesn't quite know what to make of the heavily annotated high school yearbook she inherits from her mother, who held this relic dear. Too dear. The late June Winter Maritch was the teacher to whom the class of '68 had dedicated its yearbook, and in turn she went on to attend every reunion, scribbling notes and observations after each one - not always charitably - and noting who overstepped boundaries of many kinds. In a fit of decluttering (the yearbook did not, Daphne concluded, "spark joy"), she discards it when she moves to a small New York City apartment.

A Short Commute Christmas Story
Why does the fictional town of Good Shepherd, North Carolina have two churches whose names are remarkably similar. One includes a bell tower, the other a clock. In the early years of the 20th century, episcopalians in the community worshipped at the same church. But sometime after 1930, another building was constructed across the street. There was a division in the church that was so lasting in its divisiveness that nearly a century later, no one can remember what caused the split. But it's a fact that there hasn't been a marriage between members of the two congregations since the split. Folks think it happened because there was a dispute over which congregant infant should play Jesus in the Christmas pageant. But no one knows much about the parents of the two boys or why the division was so apparently bitter.
Enter the genetic research project at a university within driving distance of the small town. Dr. Delilah Spunk just wants a job teaching. She's understandably tired of being an academic slave to a researcher who will almost surely take any and all credit for whatever work she does. Delilah, an economist, and Elyon, a geneticist, are dispatched to the small North Carolina community to determine whether there is a genetic marker for home bodies--people who may leave home for a while, but who invariably come back or who never leave. It's her job, because she is far more socialized than he is, to interview the residents, gain their trust, and convince them to let Elyon, who is condescending and awkward around people, conduct the genetic testing.
Almost immediately upon their arrival in town, the young academics meet Eggie Loft. He's pretty much all of what city government is in the community. He's not the mayor because no one wants that job, so there isn't one. But he's that conscientious guy whose good heart leads the way and allows him to immerse himself in his community. It doesn't take long for Dr. Delilah (Spunky) Spunk to develop feelings for a guy who isn't the sculpted male model of all-too-much fiction, but who would make a great dad and a loving husband.
The awkward economist, Elyon, isn't without his own reasons for eventually liking the town. His primary reason is Jozette, a high-school senior whom he has hired to cook for him and who ensures that he has relatively unrestricted opportunities to glimpse her cleavage often. Her cooking isn't great, but he doesn't mind the view at all.
This isn't a profound plot that will shake you to your core. But it is a nicely written Christmas story that looks at all the ways we divide ourselves against one another and wonders whether most of those divisions are even necessary.
There's nothing preachy here, but you'll come away thinking about why we're so intent on dividing ourselves against one another and hoping that we individually have the power to bridge many of those divisions.
This is a single bus ride novella that is magnificently narrated. Emily Rankin literally can't turn in a bad performance. It's just not in her skill set. If she narrates it, you're guaranteed a great performance that enhances the book.

Just what I wanted...
After reading a story that left a bad taste in my mouth, I really needed a palette cleanser, and as it's Dec 24th, I deemed a short Christmas story was just the thing. I had recently listened to a story narrated by Emily Rankin, and I figured that another book she'd read would be a good place to start... I was right!
This was just what I wanted. A warm, fuzzy story, without it being saccharin-sweet! Researchers go into a small town in Appalachia... and find so much more than just statistics!
No matter what day it is, you really should get this book, and enjoy the Christmas play at its epicenter!

Cute
Fun little warm and fuzzy story. Not very deep but a nice quick “read” for the holidays.

Sweet and silly
This is a sweet Christmas romance. Instead of sappy lines or hot trashy sex scenes, the main characters participate in “witty banter. The story is totally unbelievable but the narrator makes you wish you were there.

Hallmark?
Orson Scott Card made a Hallmark movie as an audiobook. Fairly predictable and sweet with the characters explaining everything.

Orson Scott Card in new territory
Orson Scott Card continues to show a willingness to explore new literary horizons. This book boldly takes him where he has never gone before. It is . . . sweet. Wonderful character development. A kind and gentle story. Still, recognizable as his voice and style. A great listen.

Boring and convenient
I guess it’s an ok Christmas story, but it’s not really a Christmas story. I thought it was kind of cute, kind of boring, way too convenient. Too many stories happening at once and nothing really happening. It seemed incomplete and it ends with a reveal but no real explanation. My husband gives it a 3.5. I would give it a 2.5 if I could. The writing was good, the story was not.
