Dashing Through the Snow

Dashing Through the Snow by Debbie Macomber.  Audio Book: 4 hours, 32 minutes;  256 pages       

It’ s Christmas!  I have to indulge in Christmas reads now and then around the holidays and who better than author Debbie Macomber?    This is a really cute story about a gal who is a 24 year old graduate student trying to go home from San Francisco to Seattle to surprise her mother for Christmas.    Of course being young she hadn’t planned ahead thinking that flights might be full for the holidays and worse yet, her name is on the NO FLY LIST!    With all the hubbub of the business of the season, and short staffing, etc.  Ashley, the student ends up sharing a rental with a stranger.   We learn the stranger has a military background.   Lots of twists and turns and fun dialogue and characters. Some close calls, too.

Debbie Macomber knows how to do something really well – she knows how to add humor at just the right place when some authors might go for the more serious. It's endearing and enjoyable and that is an apt description of Christmas and what the author brings.   I won’t tell you the outcome just enjoy the ride.   It is a fun listen while baking Christmas cookies.    I will be looking for more of Ms. Macomber’s books as the holiday season progresses.    As there is comfort food, Debbie Macomber’s works are comfort reading.
