A Christmas Homecoming Blog Tour

A Christmas Homecoming by MaryAnn Diorio

About The Book:
Seven Christmases have passed since Sonia Pettit last heard from her daughter Jody. Since Jody's departure, Sonia's world has been turned upside down. Her husband has died of a broken heart, and her son, bitter over his sister's destructive actions, has become rebellious. Her greatest desire is to have her family together at Christmas, but after what Jody has put them all through, can Sonia truly forgive her daughter? Jody Pettit O'Dair ran away to experience a life of adventure and excitement, but since her departure, her world has been turned upside down. She's been abandoned by the man she met and married, lost her job, and is unable to care for her two children. With nowhere else to turn, this prodigal daughter begins the long journey home and prays she will be welcomed after walking away so long ago. Will Jody find forgiveness in the arms of her family as easily as she received it from God?

My Thoughts:
This is such a wonderful story for the holiday season! Because, really aren't the holidays about forgiveness and homecoming? I think so. And this story does not disappoint. What a journey Jody goes on....a journey she needed to go to get to where she ends up. Wonderful story! And the perfect time of year to read it!
