A Christmas To Remember: A Cape Light Novel (Cape Light Novels)

By Thomas Kinkade and Katherine Spencer

Book Overview

The New York Timesbestselling authors take a journey into the Cape Light of Christmas past. As the citizens of Cape Light deck the halls for a Christmas to remember, the curmudgeonly Lillian Warwick has been confined to her bed with pneumonia. Cared for by her daughters, Emily and Jessica, she lets her thoughts drift back to the holiday season of 1955, to the magical time when she first met Oliver Warwick-the dashing man who would become her husband. Back then, Lillian was beautiful, spirited, and idealistic, and Oliver was a wonderful man who took a real joy in living. As she recounts those romantic early days to her daughters and faces the mistakes she's made, she is reminded of a time when she had much to be grateful for-and of all the special gifts Christmas can bring. And, to cap off this special, life-altering holiday season, there just might be a winter wedding on the horizon...

A Christmas to Remember by Thomas Kinkade

As with all the Kinkade books that I have read, I enjoyed this one too. The continuing stories with familiar characters always make it seem like I am coming home. I spend alot of time in the Gloucester and Rockport,MA area and the settings in this book are familiar and recognizeable to me. I can't wait for new books to come out.

Don't Hesitate to Read These Books!

I have read several books by Thomas Kinkade of this Cape Light series, including this one. While they are all related, you can pick up a random one and very easily know what is going on as the author will review the characters. I've read them out of sequence but it's been very easy to follow along. This one I especially enjoyed as I loved the flashbacks to Lillian's life. I guess the only thing I don't understand is that Lillian runs away against her parents' wishes to marry Oliver, and in another book in the series, her daughter Jessica marries someone against her wishes. You'd think she'd be more tolerant after what she went through with the estrangement from her parents. I'd love to live in a town this close where everyone cares about each other and steps in when they are needed. While I'm not overly religious myself, these books have just enough religion in them that you don't feel like you're in church or being preached to. It's just comforting.....don't hesitate to read any of these books.

Cape Light Series is the best!

I love the Cape Light series! This book is great!!!

Delightful Kinkade/Spencer Book

Cape Light is a charming, friendly town filled with believable characters who lead normal, yet interesting lives. Although a work of fiction, these stories bring a feeling of home-coming the moment I open one of their books. Great fire-side reading for those of us who like enjoyable, clean, and posative Christian fiction. The romantic attractions of the book's characters makes it a great alternative to all who are tired of the usual romantic fiction, plus the Kinkade/Spencer series offer a bonus of having thought-provoking situations and Christian ethics included to give us something to mull on long after the last page of each novel.

a christmas to remember: a cape light novel

Since the first book of this series, I have really enjoyed the story lines. People are so realistic, I can connect them to everyday life and the uplifting insight makes the story wonderful. Looking forward to and hoping a new book is on it's way.
