Love! Laugh!") and checks all the boxes--family, friends, God, love, and simply living--designed to warm the heart and fill the tear ducts. Smooth writing, unabashed sentimentality." -Kirkus Reviews "Rich in character and story, The Charm Bracelet is utterly charming!" -Debbie Macomber, New York Times bestselling author " The Charm Bracelet is as sweet as three scoops of Dolly's ice cream.
