This little Novella is a fictional work written by Marianne Coyne. It is the story of a lady name Emma Perrillo and her closest friends who have gathered for many years, to exchange Christmas pins. Due to circumstances in several of the ladies lives, they group stops meeting each year, until a desire for renewed friendship stirs them up. The ladies reach out to a family whose young son is seriously ill and in need of a operation. They willingly give their collection of Christmas pins to be auctioned in order to raise money for the young boy. It is a delightful tale and a quick read. It makes you think about unconditional love and giving, especially with Christmas upon us.
I was contacted by the author and asked to read this book; she sent it to me, via Amazon for my honest review. I am so impressed with her writing that I will be reading more of her. If you are looking for a wonderful story, go to Amazon and purchase it. You will enjoy it!
Marianne also has a blog named: Leisure Lane and I'm going there right now.
Blessings to you!

ReplyDeleteNoreen, thank you very much. It makes me happy to know the story touched you, and I appreciate you sharing it on your delightful blog. Word of mouth is a treasure, especially if my dreams of having The Christmas Pin Society made into a Hallmark movie are going to come true ;)
