THE SNOW GLOBE will make for a good holiday book for readers who like simple and classic tales of romance. Kylie Gray is a woman who has not had a great year. She was jilted by her longtime boyfriend, who now proclaims his love for her younger sister, and she just lost her job. If there was ever anyone in need of some Christmas magic, it is definitely Kylie. In an attempt to take her mind off of her troubles Kylie and her best friend Allison head out for some Christmas shopping and find themselves in an antique shop where she is drawn to one of the items in the store, an antique snow globe. The snow globe is believed to be a magical gift that transforms the life of the person who owns it during Christmastime. This Christmas, it will transform the lives of Kylie and her two best friends Suzanne and Allison.

The SNOW GLOBE offers its readers the classic fairy tale endings and an inspiring nod to the power of friendship. Kylie gets her happily ever after in a Cinderella fashion. Suzanne gains insight into her heart's desires via a Dicken's Christmas Carolesque epiphany, and Allison learns the value of gratitude in appreciating what was already present in her own little Oz moment complete with a good witch guiding her along the way. Robert's SNOW GLOBE is an enjoyable holiday treat.

Book Summary

On a blustery afternoon, Kylie Gray wanders into an antique shop and buys a beautiful snow globe. There's a story behind that snow globe, the antique dealer tells her, and explains that the original owner lost his wife and son right before Christmas. When he received the handcrafted snow globe as a Christmas present, the grieving widower saw the image of a beautiful woman beneath the glass--a woman who would eventually come into his life, mend his broken heart and bring him back to the world of the living. For years, the snow globe has passed from generation to generation, somehow always landing in the hands of a person in special need of a Christmas miracle.

When Kylie shares the story with her best friends--two women with troubles of their own--they don't believe it. But they're about to discover that at Christmastime, sometimes the impossible becomes possible and miracles really do come true.
