内容简介

When I wrote my first novel, "The Christmas Box," I never imagined it would become an international bestseller. It was a story for my two (then) little girls. But as I wrote, I realized that it was also for my mother -- to ease her pain over losing a child. My mother was my staunchest supporter and my biggest fan. A receptionist at a doctor's office, she would sell my book (sometimes by the case ) to patients in the waiting room. When "The Christmas Box" hit #1 on the "New York Times" bestseller list, no one, including me, was more excited than my mother. I lost my mother on Valentine's Day of 2006. After weeks of struggling with my grief, I decided I would write a story for her. As she loved Christmas, I chose to write a Christmas novel, my first since "The Christmas Box.""Finding Noel" is about how people come into our lives for a reason. It is a love story about Macy and Mark, two young people from different worlds.I'm sorry that this Christmas, for the first time since I became a writer, I won't be able to present my mother with a copy of my book. I think she would have enjoyed reading it. But, then again, I'm not certain that she hasn't. As you read "Finding Noel," I hope that you enjoy the journey and feel the same powerful emotions I felt as the story came to me.Fondly, Richard Evans
