The crunch of newly fallen snow, the weight of wartime
Siblings forging new paths and finding love in three stories, filled with the wonder of Christmas
Turn back the clock to a
different time, listen to Bing Crosby sing of sleigh bells in the snow,
as the realities of America's involvement in the Second World War change
the lives of the Turner family in Lafayette, Indiana.
In Cara Putman's White Christmas,
Abigail Turner is holding down the Home Front as a college student and a
part-time employee at a one-of-a-kind candy shop. Loss of a beau to the
war has Abigail skittish about romantic entanglements---until a
hard-working young man with a serious problem needs her help.
Abigail's brother Pete is a fighter pilot hero returned from the European Theater in Sarah Sundin's I'll Be Home for Christmas,
trying to recapture the hope and peace his time at war has eroded. But
when he encounters a precocious little girl in need of Pete's
friendship, can he convince her widowed mother that he's no longer the
bully she once knew?
In Tricia Goyer's Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,
Meredith Turner, "Merry" to those who know her best, is using her
skills as a combat nurse on the frontline in the Netherlands. Halfway
around the world from home, Merry never expects to face her deepest
betrayal head on, but that's precisely what God has in mind to redeem
her broken heart.
The Turner family believes in
God's providence during such a tumultuous time. Can they absorb the
miracle of Christ's birth and His plan for a future?

This
is one of those books that you never want to end. I could see this book
being turned into a movie like such classics as White Christmas, The
Miracle on 34th Street, and The Christmas Story.
These ladies are well versed in WWII history and that comes through the pages, you actually feel as though you are there with the characters experiencing what they are. Which is the kind of story I want to read. Look no further for a Christmas novel that will put you smack dab in the midst of the Christmas spirit!
Highly recommended!
