Recently widowed, Aletta Prescott struggles to hold life together for herself and her six-year old son. With the bank threatening to evict them, she discovers an advertisement for the Women's Relief Society auction and applies for a position—only to discover it's been filled. Then a chance meeting with a wounded soldier offers another opportunity-- and friendship. But can Aletta trust this man?

My Take:
Tamera Alexander is a favorite author. Her historicals are well researched and she once again takes a historical place such as the Carnton Plantation and writes a cozy Christmas story to get you ready for her new series that will release in 2018 set on the Carnton Plantation.
If you are looking for a book to start off your Christmas reading, this is the one to start with.
