Her books range from serious issues like schizophrenia (Finding Alice) to lighter topics like house-flipping (A Mile in My Flip-Flops) but most of the inspiration behind her fiction comes right out of real life. Her young adult novels (Diary of a Teenage Girl, TrueColors etc.) appeal to teenage girls around the world. Her annual Christmas novellas become more popular each year. She's won a number of awards (including the Rita and Gold Medallion) and some of her books have been optioned for film/TV. Carlson has two grown sons and makes her home in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and yellow Lab dog.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Christmas Story!, December 13, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Greatest Gift (Hardcover)
I can't believe this book is out of print! It tell the story of an angel who sacrifices herself to be the Star of Bethlehem. The ending is so touching, so beautiful, that it makes me cry every time I read it. It is a book for children and grown-ups and should be on everyone's shelf to share during the holidays. Why oh why did it go out-of-print?! I hope the publishers reconsider and republish it next holiday season!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Greatest Gift: A Christmas Story, December 10, 2002
By 
Ephraim City Corporation (Ephraim, Utah United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Greatest Gift (Hardcover)
This is really a wonderful book not just for children but for adults also. It's the story of an angel named Grace who gives up her heavenly life to come to earth to help Jesus Christ from his birth to his mortal death. If you are really on the fence about organized religion this is the book you need to help you explain to young children about the Savior's mission. It will also help explain selfless love and caring.

The illustrations in the book were great, really help kids and adults stay interested. This book is a Christmas Tradition in our home!

This review is from: The Greatest Gift (Hardcover)
An artist friend from my small faith sharing group said this was her favorite Christmas book, both for the story and the art work. i understand why. The story is one of giving yourself for another and the art work is lovely. I bought copies for my grandchildren and I hope it touches their spirits as they grow in understanding of the many messages of the story.
