My review today is on the Christmas novella, Snow Angel. I really enjoy Davalynn's books and was thrilled to receive a copy of it. This story was sent to me but I wasn't required to review it but it's so good I have to share it. This story is inspirational and heart warming. You will laugh and you will cry but you won't be able to put it down.
In the prologue  Lena is just a little girl when she sneaks out of the house to make snow angels because her brother refused to go with her. She gets lost and finally lays down and sleeps.
