Lynne begins to rebuild her life in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, figuring that the location is far enough away from her old life that she will not be recognized with a new hair style and very little makeup. The apartment she moves into is the perfect start of her new life. As she is unpacking her many boxes she hears a crash followed by a loud groan. She rushes to the door and see that the boxes she haphazardly left in the hall have caused her new neighbor to trip. She quickly apologizes, but he doesn’t seem to be willing to accept. As he walks away, there is something that doesn’t seem quite right, but she can’t be sure what it could be.

Brendan Reilly was blinded in a freak college accident, but refused to let his disability stand in the way of his becoming a lawyer. His clumsy meeting with his new neighbor embarrasses him. His pride wounded, he walks away, though he can hear the regret in her voice. He barricades himself in his apartment, but a few hours later hears a knock on his door. When he goes to answer, he smells the tantalizing scent of fresh cookies and Lynne. Her generosity and effort at forgivingness touches his heart. Though his eyes cannot see, he can distinguish a woman who piques his interest.

Anne Marie Winston has written one outstanding novel! Holiday Confessions is the type of book that you literally can not put down. This author's talent shines through each memorable page. Her characters are so well-developed you question whether you are reading fact or fiction. This is by far one of the best books to feature a disabled character I have yet to read in 2006.

Very highly recommended.
