Kale felt like she was completely ordinary, except where it came to her daughter, Sydney. And in that area of her life, she felt like an extraordinary failure! I related so well to her struggles with not measuring up and my heart went out to her. The surprise she experienced when an anonymous gift was left on her porch and someone shoveled her driveway for her gave her hope that maybe, just maybe someone could care for her, despite her mistakes.

I loved this beautiful story! Author Jennifer Rodewald had my heart melting. It was a sweet romance, yet it was even about Kale learning – not to love herself – but to accept the love that her Savior has for her.

As a Christmas novella, Ordinary Snowflakes really emphasized the true meaning of Christmas. I’m not talking about the “spirit of giving and kindness” “peace on earth” and “goodwill to men”. I’m talking about the fact that Jesus left His heavenly home to be born fully man, fully God, in a smelly stable. To be tempted in every way as we were and yet not sin. And then to die on the cross and rise again for our salvation!

Readers of Christian fiction who appreciate reading about changed lives with a little romance mixed in will love this book!
