Probably my favorite story out of this collection. I felt so many emotions while listening to this story. Following this women’s journey from being major Scrooge to learning the error of her ways was quite the journey. The narrators voice complimented this story so well and I found myself enthralled with the story on a soul deep level.
Which is the key to a great story. Highly recommend as a Christmas story with heart at its center. Enjoy life while you have it, you never know when it will be gone.
Thanks to the folks at NetGalley for an audio copy of this book. My review is a honest reflection of my feelings towards this book.

I really enjoyed this book! It was in the vein of a Christmas Carol, but I really felt that it had its own unique spin on it.

The story is about our Scrooge character Barbara, who is met with her guardian angel. Her angel has her open 12 gifts and each gift is to be a lesson to her. In most a Christmas Carol retellings you only see the POV’s of characters surrounding the Scrooge, but, in this book there were many characters that Barbara had never even met.

Each gift when opened transported her to a certain date and time and they spend across so many years and so many different situations.

There was some really cool history in the mix. In my opinion and it was just a very Christmasy , beautiful, wholesome read and I really enjoyed it. I would definitely pick it up again and I can’t Wait to read the rest of the books in the series.

Barbara is so busy being a boss (literally) that she runs every facet of her life based on efficient schedules and the look of the moment, rather than the feeling. Her demanding ways make life difficult for those around her... until Barbara dies and has a divine intervention a la the 12 days of Christmas meets a Christmas Carol.

It was a very quick listen to a relaxing narrator to remind everyone about the real meaning of Christmas.

Overall: 4 stars

I'll tell my students about: religion, death

A wonderful story, and a good reminder of what really matters in Christmas and life. Inspired by a Christmas Carol, but way more relevant to today and with more multifaceted characters, angels instead of ghosts, and 12 Gifts of Christmas with precious lessons. I loved it!

Twelve Days: A Tale of Christmas by D.P. Conway was a captivity book during the holiday season.

It’s about a grinch boss who is hard on everyone in her life. The way we grow up can manage how we behave as adults and this is a perfect connection. A tragic occurrence causes the lead character to have to follow her “angel” through 12 situations of her life that hope to create a better outcome should she receive a second chance.

It’s a feel good book with lots of reasons to stop and think about how you approach things moving forward in life!

I highly recommend!!!!
