Book Description:

Christmas in Chestnut Crossing is a charming, gift-sized book, filled with inspiring, uplifting, and thought-provoking holiday stories to put you in the Christmas spirit throughout the season.

Inside, discover four heartwarming Christmas stories:

  • A long-awaited reunion: When Sadie Wingate comes face-to-face with someone she had nearly given up hope of reconnecting with, she discovers that forgiveness may be the greatest gift of all.
  • A sweet second chance: Gloria Quincy, a widowed baker rebuilding her life in a new town, finds unexpected joy―and a second chance at belonging―when the holiday baking contest she sponsors leads to new friendships and hope.
  • An unexpected Christmas mystery: When her holiday plans fall through, Ella Hart, a disappointed bookstore owner, finds meaning―and a touch of mystery―when her path crosses with a stranger just passing through town.
  • A Christmas wish waiting to be fulfilled: Deborah Morris finds a decades-old wish inside a Christmas card tucked into the market’s donation box and embarks on a mission to fulfill it.

My Thoughts: Absolutely Awesome!

Christmas in Chestnut Crossing is an absolutely awesome collection of four stories set in a small town during the Christmas season.

The stories have various messages, which include faith, hope, healing, friendship, family, community, and even a touch of mystery. The stories are so heartfelt and deeply touching. 

Although each story has a different author, they blend flawlessly in theme, setting, and even characters.  The collection captivated me with its perfect melding of stories and heartwarming themes, making it a fantastic read that I highly recommend.
