This is an enjoyable collection published by Barbour Books and I loved every story.
One Golden Ring by CJ Chase is a very unique and interesting story. It was a bit confusing at the beginning, but it became clearer to me as the story progressed and I really enjoyed it.
Star of Wonder by Susanne Dietze is a heart-warming story of love and family. The story is set in a lovely English, country estate in 1875. I love both the setting and the characters. I especially like the spiritual theme of following God's plan for one's life.
The Holly and the Ivy by Rita Gerlach is a sweet and lively read set in the winter of 1900 in and around Washington DC. An interesting cast of characters add complexity to the story. It is quite enjoyable.
Author Kathleen L. Maher has painted a lovely picture with words in her contribution to this outstanding collection. Maher's touching story, Love Brick by Brick, is one you won't want to miss and one that will stick with you long after the last word is read.
The hero and the heroine of A Christmas Promise by Gabrielle Meyer are so worthy of that label. Both Christopher and Ashleigh are so appealing in their own ways and I know you will agree with me, as you read this special story.
The Sugarplum Ladies by Carrie Fancett Pagels
Carrie Fancett Pagels has written a warm, satisfying novella with humor and a special sensitivity toward those who need a helping hand. The Sugarplum Ladies is a joy to read.
Paper Snowflake Christmas by Vanessa Riley is an interesting story full of tension and angst but tempered with love. It's a peek into a âman's worldâ of 1837 America and countries beyond, when women had little, if any, rights.
Father Christmas by Lorna Seilstad is a wonderful story with endearing characters. Beatrix is an amazing woman and I so admire her determination to obey God, yet she is enslaved by those who do not love her. Hugh is a five-star hero and I love that he is the protector that God plans for him to be. Clara is a sweet child, and I'm sure you will agree that her childhood innocence adds a special layer to the story.
A Perfect Christmas by Erica Vetsch is a perfect ending to an excellent collection. I particularly enjoyed this story of resilience and commitment in the face of adversity. Lovely story!
