Best Novels Turned Christmas Movies; #4: The Note




I am a big Angela Hunt fan, so of course the Hallmark Channel's movie adaptation of The Note makes the best novels turned Christmas Movies List. I love that it is also Christian Fiction.

Synopsis: Newspaper columnist Peyton MacGruder is proud of three things--her immaculate VW Jetta, her status as a strong single woman, and her ability to write fast--until her editor warns that her column is failing. She is given three weeks to change either her approach or her job. 
 
As Peyton considers her future, the unthinkable happens--PanWorld Flight 848, en route from New York to Tampa, bursts into flame and crashes in Tampa Bay. All 261 people aboard are killed. For a week Peyton and her fellow reporters cover the nation's worst air disaster with numbed emotions, then they try to move on. 

Peyton is wondering how to attract readers when a woman approaches and hands her a plastic bag that washed up behind her house. It contains a note, almost certainly from the doomed flight, with a simple message-- “T--I love you. All is forgiven. Dad.” Peyton now has the perfect story to attract readers . . . and a tool to uncover lessons about love, forgiveness, and about herself.
