Christmas Jars by Jason F. Wright

December’s book for The Bremen Readers was Christmas Jars, by Jason F. Wright. The book follows a reporter, Holly Jensen, on a quest to find the origin of the Christmas Jars.

When Holly’s apartment is robbed on a bleak Christmas Eve, someone leaves a jar full of money. The anonymous jar has the label: “Christmas Jar.” This act of kindness leads Holly down a path that eventually leads her to the remarkable story of the beginning of the jars. It also brings her joy, sadness, and of course, answers.

The Readers rated this book a 3.25 out of 5. It was a quick, but happy read for the Holidays. They felt that it was wrapped up a bit too neatly in the end, but it had an inspiring message that left all wanting to do more for those in need.
