Review of "Return of the Christmas Spirit" by Susan Buchanan

This is such a heartwarming book, guaranteed to get nearly everyone into the Christmas Spirit! (There are always the odd few that won't go there in spite of miracles!) Star, who works at the library is able to help put some good luck back into peoples' lives very effortlessly, almost like waving a fairy wand! She becomes involved with the stories of some of the people who frequent the library that vary with age and type of problem they are experiencing.  In this book we get a glimpse at some very real and everyday issues that people of all ages are currently going through and struggling with. We can relate to them, either by personal knowledge or knowing someone with those problems.  Evan is unemployed and struggling to meet the Christmas expectations of his children.  Arianna is studious and struggling with her parent's divorce as she doesn't see much of her mother who is always working and her father who has moved away. She could use some company.  D
