This beautiful reflection on the promise of hope is a lovely reminder that even in the bleakest of times, we are never alone, never without the powerful love of our Saving Grace, and only a prayer away from His perfect provision. ”
“This tender story reminds you what Christmas is all about. We bring our broken selves to the Savior and He makes us whole. Our brokenness may be different but the invitation is the same, come to Jesus. This booklet is a well written and captivating story that will have you feeling gratitude for what you have and will open your eyes to good you can do to help others at this time of year and always.”
“A Broken Down Holiday is a quick read that will help those in need of hope. Life is not always easy and we don’t always get what we want. However, what we think we need is not always the answer. Sometimes it’s the challenges that build who we are meant to become. Angels are around every corner and maybe we are that angel that someone needs. ”
“A Broken Down Holiday captured this mother’s heart and fueled a compelling urge to be more Christlike at all times, especially during Christmas.”
“A Broken Down Holiday is a touching story of rediscovering faith and hope. The holidays can be filled with anxiety for many. This moving story highlights a young mother’s struggles, fully engaging the reader in the journey. The story has something for everyone. It’s an uplifting Christmas story with a wonderful message. I highly recommend it.”
“This story is relatable with such wide application—succinct yet full, complete and meaningful.
The lessons and principles from the long-ago Christmas story are so relatable now. Anyone can gain empathy or even hope by reading and applying these same lessons today.”
A Broken Down Holiday is the second short story by the award-winning author, Tamara K. Anderson. Based on a true story, a widowed young mother’s car breaks down and she is forced to spend Christmas Eve on a gas station bathroom floor. In that remote, dirty stall she has an epiphany as she discovers a connection to the true story of Christmas.
“Dear God,” I pled into the darkness, “We need a miracle. I’d love to be home for Christmas. My heart has been grieving and cold for so long that I could use a little holiday cheer. Maybe I don’t deserve it, since I have been angry with you since David died. But my sweet, innocent son could use a joyful and hopeful Christmas this year. Will you please help us?”

“Just like the Christmas star of old, A Broken Down Holiday shines through relatable feelings of darkness and despair, leading the reader to a place of hope and healing. A tender story sure to uplift and inspire both weary souls and innkeepers alike.”
“Sometimes we must reach that very darkest moment of the night before we glimpse that first light of dawn. It is in those dark moments that we realize that we are not and have never been alone. This story teaches that concept in such a tender way. This sweet mother experienced much tribulation and found her Savior’s love in the process. It reminded me to look for opportunities to be an “Earth Angel”, and to always look with gratitude at the many blessings in my life.”
