Goodreads Summary:
Where had it come from? Whose money was it? Was I to spend it? Save it? Pass it on to someone more needy? Above all else, why was I chosen? Certainly there were others, countless others, more needy than me...
Her reporter's intuition insisted that a remarkable story was on the verge of the front page.
Newspaper reporter Hope Jensen uncovers the remarkable secret behind the "Christmas Jars", glass jars filled with coins and bills anonymously left for people in need. But along the way, Hope discovers much more than the origin of the jars. When some unexpected news sets off a chain reaction of kindness, Hope's greatest Christmas Eve wish comes true.

My Review:
Hope had an unusual start to her life, but thanks to Louisa fighting for her every step of the way, she has a chance to do some amazing things.
Hope has always wanted to be a top headline report, and she has worked towards that since high school. Now with her mom gone, she is now focusing only on work it seems, and a tragedy ends up happening and she ends up getting a Jar full of money randomly.
She is determined to find out who it was and why they do it. She also finds other people that have received the jars as well and after a little questioning, she thinks she knows where they came from.
After meeting with the people and hearing the stories though, she has a tough decision to make and she's not sure she can handle it.
Overall this was a sweet Christmas story, that shows the goodness of children and how one small act can change multiple lives.
After my last Wright book, I was a little nervous to pick this one up, but it turned out to be so much better than I thought it would be. Now for next year to finally read the Wednesday Letters by Wright.
