About this listen

From the New York Times best-selling author of the Christmas Hope series comes another heartwarming, inspirational story for the holidays.

Thirty-two-year-old Amy Denison volunteers at Glory’s Place, an after-school program where she meets seven-year-old Maddie, a precocious young girl who has spent her childhood in foster care. Unbeknownst to Amy, Maddie is a mini-matchmaker, with her eye on just the right man for Amy at Grandon Elementary School, where she is a student. Amy is hesitant - she’s been hurt before, and isn’t sure she’s ready to lose her heart again - but an unexpected surprise makes her reconsider her lonely lifestyle.

As Christmas nears and the town is blanketed in snow and beautiful decorations, Maddie and the charming staff at Glory’s Place help Amy to see that romance can be more than heartache and broken promises.

In The Christmas Star, Donna VanLiere delivers yet another sweet, joyous story that is sure to capture listeners' hearts.

Glory's Place, God's Miracles and Christmas

I love Donna VanLiere's Christmas books . . . and I love Glory's Place . . . how I wish that every town had one, a safe place for kids that have had more than their share of pain, neglect and abuse. We all need an extra dose of blessing at Christmas, and these books provide that and more. They give us hope and in abundance. Seven year old, Maddie is friends with Gabe at Grandon Elementary. And when Amy starts to volunteer at Glory's Place, Maddie soon becomes friends with Amy, too. The book also continues the story of Lauren and Travis. And the nosy, overbearing Miriam who has offered to buy Lauren's wedding dress, but with many strings attached . . . don't we all have friends like Miriam? In the end it all comes right . . . Give yourself a little Christmas gift, a little escape for a few hours . . . it will remind you of your blessings, it will fill you with hope, and help you to remember OTHERS. Isn't that what Christmas is all about?

Loved this book

I love Donna VanLiere's books and every year when I find out there is a new one I have to read it. I can't believe I went so long without knowing about this one. It was really good. Loved the characters and story line. I especially loved little matchmaker Maddie. She knows what she wants and has set out to get it if possible.

This is the only book by Donna VanLiere that I have listened to on Audible and didn't realize at first that she narrates her own book. It was really good and I just couldn't put it down.

Check it out it won't disappoint you.

Another Winner

As always this story hits all the happy buttons for a great heart tugging lovely story. As God weaves all things together for good to those that love Him, Ms Carlson uses her gift from Him to weave together a story that will touch your heart deeply. I have loved this entire series.
