Nora Peterson’s twins are seniors in high school and she has planned the perfect Christmas for them. Christi and Charlie are fraternal twins with the invisible bond that many twins experience. Christi is budding artist and during this holiday season Charlie is playing one of Santa’s elves. The holiday season is moving perfectly until a tragic accident shakes the Peterson’s home and threatens to overwhelm them.
Jenna Montgomery is a single mother who works as an emergency room nurse. This Christmas season she only has one wish, finding her daughter a new heart. Jenna’s daughter Heather has been living with a weak heart and becomes weaker each passing day. Right before Christmas, God gives them the miracle they had been praying for, a new hope for life.
I did not think I would enjoy One Perfect Day as much as I did. When you predict what is going to happen it takes some of the anticipation out of a book, but Lauraine Snelling kept me on the edge of my seat with each turning page. My heart broke, my heart rejoiced! It was a difficult book to read, especially being a mother of teenagers myself, but Lauraine Snelling has shown once again that God can handle whatever we have to dish out. God never leaves us, especially during the darkest times and sometimes when God answers our prayers, he not only answers them but blows our minds.

Lori, I am reading “One Perfect Day” now. I found the first third of the book slow going – as you said, when you know the gist of what’s coming, it’s hard to get that excited. But the pace has picked up considerably now, so I am glad I stuck with it. I am a bona fide book nut and am so happy I came across your place here!
