Product Description:
She was my first kiss. My first love. She was a little match girl who could see the future in the flame of a candle. She was a runaway who taught me more about life than anyone has before or since. And when she was gone my innocence left with her.
As I begin to write, a part of me feels as if I am awakening something best left dead and buried, or at least buried. We can bury the past, but it never really dies. The experience of that winter has grown on my soul like ivy climbing the outside of a home, growing until it begins to tear and tug at the brick and mortar.
I pray I can still get the story right. My memory, like my eyesight, has waned with age. Still, there are things that become clearer to me as I grow older. This much I know: too many things were kept secret in those days. Things that never should have been hidden. And things that should have.

"Grace" was an easy read, and it kept my interest, but Richard Paul Evans seemed to have a "dark" side to his writing with this book, especially since I thought it was a Christmas themed book. I understand it's about abuse, too, and a different time and place than where we are at now. I think if the ending were different, it would have made the book a lot more special to me.

I actually finished this a couple of weeks ago and am sadly now just catching up on reviews. I have to start out by saying that as much as I was anticipating this release by Richard Paul Evans, I was not in the least bit disappointed.

Each year, at the holiday season, the excitement of knowing Mr. Evans will be gracing readers with a new tale, is one of the many high points of the season, for me.

I have enjoyed Evan's Christmas novellas for several years now, depending on them for some holiday inspiration. Even though I knew that a plot based on Anderson's "Little Match Girl" was not going to end well, this book was a disappointment. I never did identify closely with Eric--Evans says that this was the most autobiographical of his books, but I felt outside of the characters, more of a watcher than in his other works. Evans did a great job of describing the world of the middle 60s, but it lacked ... Read More

I agree exactly with Barb avid reader's review. Very succiently put.
I too Picked this up hoping for a light uplifting read. The story was sweet, the ending horrible. It made me wish I never read it. Loved The Last Promise. Bought the hard bound edition.
