The tree is decorated, the cookies are baked, and the packages are wrapped, but the biggest celebration this Christmas is Gaby Summerhill's wedding. Since her husband died three years ago, Gaby's four children have drifted apart, each consumed by the turbulence of their own lives. They haven't celebrated Christmas together since their father's death, but when Gaby announces that she's getting married--and that the groom will remain a secret until the wedding day--she may finally be able to bring them home for the holidays.
But the wedding isn't Gaby's only surprise--she has one more gift for her children, and it could change all their lives forever. With deeply affecting characters and the emotional twists of a James Patterson thriller, The Christmas Wedding is a fresh look at family and the magic of the season.
Most of our group members wondered if James Patterson really wrote this book. It was so different than his usual crime stories. Our group had very mixed feelings on this book. It was an unrealistic, cheesy plot – 3 potential suitors that find out during the wedding ceremony which one will be the groom (and the guys and bride all remain good friends). The side plots about the bride’s childrens lives were more interesting than the main marriage plot. However, you did want to finish the book to find out the ending. We would not recommend this book, but it was a fast, easy read.
