Blurb: One snowy evening, a car wreck in front of his toy store triggers terrible memories for Jake. Suddenly, he is in the midst of another winter storm—and another accident, one that not everyone walked away from. When he returns to the present, Jake is on the ground, being watched over by a guardian angel in the form of a kind man named Eli. Eli is no stranger to panic attacks and PTSD, and he’s happy to help Jake get home—where the weather forces him to remain for the night. For Jake, it could be the first step toward a life free from fear and loneliness.

Review: Jake had lost the man he loved as well as his little sister to a horrible car accident during a storm. Now time has passed, but his memories have not left him. When another accident happens in front of him, he is thrown back into the past. However his future is looking right at him. To figure out that jumbled mess, you really need to read this story. I think you will get a kick out of Eli.
This was a very sweet story about a second chance at love. I would say that Santa has given him the present of his life. I really did like this story quite a bit. For such a short story it has a lot of meat to it. I enjoyed it so much that it will probably be a Christmas thing for me to read it more than once.

Geneva Vand’s Question!
The name of the Italian restaurant across the street from Jake’s store is Bella Notte. Which Disney movie is this a reference to?
(Just leave a comment with the answer on this post)
(Winners will be picked by a dart on 1st January 2017)
Lady and the Tramp. Bella Notte (Italian for “Beautiful Night”) is a song for the 1955 animated motion picture.
Lady and the Tramp
I think it is Lady and The Tramp
I immediately had the song in my head *lol*. It’s Lady and the Tramp (1955)
Right? I was trying to come up with a name for an Italian restaurant, and that song instantly started looping through my brain. I decided to just go with it.
Lady and the Tramp – I loved that movie and even had the record when I was a kid.
If I had had the record, my Mum would have been so sick of it.
Lady and the Tramp! 🙂
Lady and the Tramp
Lady & The Tramp – Bella Notte sang by Tony (George Givot) the restaurant owner and Tramps friend. It was performed during the beautiful touching dining scene under the stars between Lady & The Tramp <3
It’s Lady and the Tramp.
Bella Notte is reference to the Disney Film “Lady and The Tramp”.
Lady and the Tramp
LADY AND THE TRAMP (now the song is in my head)…
Lady and the Tramp
I had to look it up. Lady and the Tramp.
Lady and the Tramp
Lady and the Tramp
Ahhh, Lady and the Tramp 🙂
A nod to Lady and the Tramp.
Lady and the Tramp.
Lady and the Tramp
Did a research & found out that it’s LADY AND THE TRAMP.
Lady and the Tramp (or Susie and Strolchi as we call it where I live).
I really liked this story. Almost made me cry.
Lady and the Tramp! Good scene!
