Description
An overworked attorney’s grandmother will stop at nothing to find her a date for Christmas in this heartwarming holiday love story about finding what really matters in life.
As a first-year law associate, Sydney Batson knows she will be updating her resume by New Year’s if she loses her current case. So when her grandmother gets inexplicably ill while Sydney is in court, she arranges for a cab to take her grandmother 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 paying 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 certain 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.

5By LGHudsonCatching Christmas by Terri Blackstock will catch your heart! It’s just the kind of book everyone needs to read amidst the hustle and bustle of the Holidays. Take a few moments and get lost in the lives of first year law associate Sydney Batson, former gourmet chef and restauranteur and present day cab driver Finn Parrish and Sydney’s very special Grandmother, Miss Callie. Each of three people are experiencing very trying times in their lives and each of them feels very alone. One of them is fighting a losing battle, one is fighting things from the past and one is fighting death by making big plans for Christmas and beyond! These three characters will catch your heart and make this an unforgettable Christmas book! Blackstock is at her best weaving a story of broken, hurting people allowing them to meet, have conflicts, experience growth in themselves and as a group. It is a story of past failures, wrong choices and most of all redemption and love. It’s always a blessed Christmas Gift to find LOVE in the most unexpected places with the most unexpected people! Treat yourself to the gift of Catching Christmas!CATCHING CHRISTMAS
4By Ellen/OceansideCATCHING CHRISTMAS Finn is like a stand up comic driving a cab, and what he thinks of his fares. Catches us from the beginning, and the characters he does has. His soft side shows with Miss Callie, her concern for her granddaughter, her faith, changes Finn. She keeps him at her beck and call, driving her, days before Christmas. A beautiful story at any time, especially at .Christmas. A time of faith, family and sharing love and memories with them.Given ARC by Net Galley and Thomas Nelson for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.
