Treasure this Christmas novella from bestselling author Lori Copeland that demonstrates the healing power of true love.This novella was moving and well written. A plane crash leads to the main character being in a skilled nursing facility. She has a traumatic brain injury and is confused about what happened to her husband who had been piloting the plane. How her children cope is explored  as well.as the other residents of the home. It is very poingnant to see the type of thoughts that human beings who have a traumatic brain injury may experience. It was also interesting to see the way things played out in the family both as a response to the accident and in general and how the main character interacted with family members staff and residents at the skilled nursing facility. we also get a rare and interesting look at her relationship with herself.  A wonderfully written story overall.
