Resumen del Editor

New York Times bestselling author Kristin Hannah is beloved by readers around the world for her unique blend of powerful emotion and exquisite storytelling. In Comfort & Joy, she offers a modern-day fairy tale - the story of a woman who gets a miraculous chance at happiness.

Joy Candellaro once loved Christmas more than any other time of the year. Now, as the holiday approaches, she is at a crossroads in her life; recently divorced and alone, she can’t summon the old enthusiasm for celebrating. So without telling anyone, she buys a ticket and boards a plane bound for the beautiful Pacific Northwest. When an unexpected detour takes her deep into the woods of the Olympic rainforest, Joy makes a bold decision to leave her ordinary life behind - to just walk away - and thus begins an adventure unlike any she could have imagined.

In the small town of Rain Valley, six-year-old Bobby O’Shea is facing his first Christmas without a mother. Unable to handle the loss, Bobby has closed himself off from the world, talking only to his invisible best friend. His father Daniel is beside himself, desperate to help his son cope. Yet when the little boy meets Joy, these two unlikely souls form a deep and powerful bond. In helping Bobby and Daniel heal, Joy finds herself again.

But not everything is as it seems in quiet Rain Valley, and in an instant, Joy’s world is ripped apart, and her heart is broken. On a magical Christmas Eve, a night of impossible dreams and unexpected chances, Joy must find the courage to believe in a love - and a family - that can’t possibly exist, and go in search of what she wants...and the new life only she can find.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A heartwarming holiday tale [that] resonates with poignancy and deep emotion.” (Romantic Times)

Great listen

I really loved this book. It was short but so beautiful. The only thing I wished were different is the voice of Stacy. Doesn’t seem to fit her.

great story

gr8 story thank you. loved it great twist in story I loved the double twist

It was different than expected in a good way!

I truly loved this book. It really took me by surprise. I have always loved Kristin Hannah. I felt like I have been to the northern rainforest of Washington state. I normally can summarize what is going to happen in a story. I didn’t in this one.

A nice story for Christmas!

I really enjoyed this story, very heartwarming and good lessons about life and the joy it brings when sought.

Hallmark movie

The book was selected for our December book club based on our love of Kristen Hannah. It was ok, I was just hoping for a little more. The story line was so far fetched it was hard to stay interested in the book.

Romance Novel meets Sixth Sense

I read this book as I've read several books by the author and I was hoping for a story set in the Christmas season. This book certainly isn't the Nightingale! The twist with the boy's psychopathology was interesting. Ultimately this is a forgettable book.

Disappointing

I normally love this author but this book almost seems like it was written by someone else.. I didn’t even finish it, I will be returning it

Love this book.

Have wanted to listen to this story after reading it years ago. My only complaint is the narrator I think someone else would be better suited. She sounds a bit robotic.

not every reader

it is hard to get keep my interest it was a good book but I wouldn't it's not a rereader

It gets better :)

Starts off slow and somewhat boring but gets a little more excited half way through.
