  “Beautiful prose, poignant emotions, and encompassing theme of hope out of
  ashes, will enchant readers as this tender Christmas story unfolds with the
  whimsy of a fairy tale and the heart of a giant. Truly, Amanda Dykes is an
  exquisite wordsmith and consummate storyteller, captivating my every thought
  as Giovanni, Aria, and James tentatively reach for the broken pieces of their
  lives that seem impossibly and forever fragmented. The spiritual themes are
  captivating and stirring - be prepared to be inspired and moved…  
  … If you only read one Christmas story this year, ensure it is Bespoke.”
