OUR REVIEW
Christmas Hotel Reunion by Saundra Staats McLemore brings together a cast of characters that have traveled through this heartwarming series. As they gather together for a special Christmas reunion, all doesn't go as smoothly as you would hope.
Once again, Staats develops depth to the main characters as Alzheimer's threatens to take control and touch many family lives during this devastating time. Families rally together, but will they be successful in their endeavor to complete the major event they planned so diligently for?
This was a bitter sweet story, and without giving away any spoilers, there were many surprises that I never dreamed would have happened. A great wrap up to a wonderful series. Well done!
