About the Book:
The first Christmas story from New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Terri Blackstock.

“The feel-good Christmas book of the year. Blackstock’s tale of love and redemption wrapped in a holiday bow will leave you smiling. Don’t miss Catching Christmas.” —New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hauck

This Year, Christmas Comes Just in Time

As a first-year law associate, Sydney Batson knows she will be updating her resume by New Year’s if she loses her current court case. So when her grandmother gets inexplicably ill while she’s in court, Sydney arranges for a cab to get her to the clinic.

The last thing cab driver Finn Parrish wants is to be saddled with a wheelchair-bound old lady with dementia. But because Miss Callie reminds him of his own mother, whom he failed miserably in her last days, he can’t say no when she keeps calling him for rides. Once a successful gourmet chef, Finn’s biggest concern now is making his rent, but half the time Callie doesn’t remember to pay him. And as she starts to feel better, she leads him on wild goose chases to find a Christmas date for her granddaughter.

When Finn meets Sydney, he’s quite sure that she’s never needed help finding a date. Does Miss Callie have an ulterior motive, or is this just a mission driven by delusions? He’s willing to do whatever he can to help fulfill Callie’s Christmas wish. He just never expected to be a vital part of it.


My Review:
 Caring for a grandmother that is aging at a rapid rate you would think that this story was full of sadness but it was anything but. When Sydney realizes that her grandmother needs her she wastes no time at all to tend to her needs. Little does she know her grandmother is still quite lucid enough to have some plans of her own. It soon becomes evident that Miss Callie is up to something but the trick is finding out if its by chance or on purpose.

 Finn and Sydney need love in their lives. The lead lives with no real joy in them and love could be just the ticket to help with that. They story itself was great. I loved the characters and fell in love with Miss Callie from the start. Its really hard not to think of them as real people. A great Christmas story!
