My second Nancy Naigle book (after THE SHELL COLLECTOR), and I can honestly say that I am a fan! I picked this up because I wanted to read a Christmas book, and I absolutely loved it. Wonderful characters and such a sweet heartwarming story without being schmaltzy. And a gentle little romance thrown in which is always good. It's been awhile since I read a book in two days, but it was just that good.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

I really enjoyed this book. I think it was one of the best I have read from Nancy Naigle. Once I started it, I couldn't stop. I loved the setting, and the characters. It was amazing.

⭐⭐⭐
I think if you like gentle, somewhat religious, Christmas romances, you'd like this one. The writing was good, but it's just not my cup of cocoa. I listened to it on audio, and the narration wasn't bad. Overall, it was ok but could have been shorter.
