A Ferry Merry Christmas is the perfect book to get readers into the holiday spirit. When a ferry to Seattle breaks down, the people on that ferry must deal with the various situations they find themselves in. Avery is supposed to meet her brother Reed and Harrison is supposed to meet his sister Kellie.
What happens is both exciting and serendipitous. On the other hand, James’ wife Lilly is about to give birth. With no family to help, will he make it back in time for the birth of his child?
Debbie Macomber writes stories that are so easy to read and follow that it’s almost impossible to put the book down. Her characters each have their own personalities and the dialogue flows naturally. I love how almost the whole story took place on the ferry.
Macomber also does a great job of describing the city of Seattle as the people on land wait for their loved ones who are stuck on the ferry. From the fish-throwing market to the Ferris wheel, this book gives readers a small scenic tour.
