Publisher Description
An overworked attorney’s grandmother will stop at nothing to find her a date for Christmas in this heartwarming holiday love story about finding what really matters in life.
As a first-year law associate, Sydney Batson knows she will be updating her resume by New Year’s if she loses her current case. So when her grandmother gets inexplicably ill while Sydney is in court, she arranges for a cab to take her grandmother to the clinic.
The last thing cab driver Finn Parrish wants is to be saddled with a wheelchair-bound old lady with dementia. But because Miss Callie reminds him of his own mother, whom he failed miserably in her last days, he can’t say no when she keeps calling him for rides. Once a successful gourmet chef, Finn’s biggest concern now is paying his rent, but half the time Callie doesn’t remember to pay him. And as she starts to feel better, she leads him on wild-goose chases to find a Christmas date for her granddaughter.
When Finn meets Sydney, he’s quite certain she’s never needed help finding a date. Does Miss Callie have an ulterior motive, or is this just a mission driven by delusions? He’s willing to do whatever he can to help fulfill Callie’s Christmas wish. He just never expected to be a vital part of it.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Blackstock (If I Run) delivers a tender and funny yuletide tale of faith, hope, and love. Taxi driver Finn Parrish is outraged that sweet and spunky Miss Callie needs a cab ride to the doctor. Who would leave an elderly woman, obviously ill and confused, alone to manage a doctor's appointment the week before Christmas? Unwillingly drawn into Callie's life as she continues to ask for his cab services, Finn comes to appreciate her determination and spirit even as he's reminded of his failures with his own mother. Finn, meanwhile, is just trying to make rent and can't decide whether he wants to go back to being a chef. Callie hires her "sweet boy" to taxi her around town so she can find a Christmas date for her granddaughter Sydney, an overworked first-year attorney. Stuck with an impossible case, Sydney feels guilty about not spending more time with her lonely grandmother. As Christmas approaches and Callie's health wavers again, Sydney and Finn discover that some things matter more than rent or a job. Quirky characters and a wholesome plot will please inspirational readers looking for a heartwarming Christmas story.

CATCHING CHRISTMAS
CATCHING CHRISTMAS
Finn is like a stand up comic driving a cab, and what he thinks of his fares. Catches us from the beginning, and the characters he does has. His soft side shows with Miss Callie, her concern for her granddaughter, her faith, changes Finn. She keeps him at her beck and call, driving her, days before Christmas. A beautiful story at any time, especially at .Christmas. A time of faith, family and sharing love and memories with them.Given ARC by Net Galley and Thomas Nelson for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.
