When The Holidays Hurt

For Naomi, the holidays have never felt magical — they’ve felt heavy. What began as a childhood ache followed her into adulthood, showing up quietly each December. Now, at sixty, she retreats to a snowy countryside village, hoping to escape the noise of the season. But silence has a way of uncovering what we’ve buried.

Through unexpected kindness, quiet prayers, and the gentle whisper of God’s presence, Naomi discovers that healing doesn’t always arrive with fanfare — sometimes it comes softly, like lantern light in the dark.

This tender Christian fiction story is for every heart that’s ever felt unseen during the holidays. It’s a journey through loneliness, faith, and hope — and a reminder that God’s light can find its way in, even through the smallest cracks.

✨ Perfect for cozy winter reading, faith-based book lovers, and those seeking encouragement through the holiday season.
