With everything falling apart, can Carole keep from going crazy? Find the official description on Goodreads.

The descriptions in this book were well worded, and descriptive. They weren't too wordy and yet really well described. 

There were numerous threads running through this book and I enjoyed each one. It kept things interesting and once one settled down a bit it seemed another was jumping into high speed. It kept the readers attention and it was really enjoyable!

There was a bit of surprise in Belize Navidad and I'm not going to spoil it so go read this book to figure it out. I will tell you that it was heartwarming. 

Belize Navidad was an enjoyable novel, and it would be a good Christmas read.
