About the Book: 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?

My Thoughts On The Book: I loved them all. Having grown up with a mother who lived in this era it was like hearing my mother's tales all over again. All three authors wove wonderful tales of Christmas, love, war, faith, and family. This was the kind of book you do not want to put down when the stories begin to unfold. You are drawn back in time and become a member of the family. Thank you all for this wonderful kickoff of the Christmas season and for the reminder that one of our greatest gifts is freedom. This book is a 5 star book. If you get the chance to read it....take it.
