The main characters of each book were so unique and relatable. I liked the setting of Mapleview, Michigan- especially at Christmas time! A definite must read! ( ) What a fun, entertaining, clean collection of novellas set in a small town and sweet romances during different generational periods. All three stories were delightful but I think my favorite would be "While Mortals Sleep" by Janyre Tromp. This was the middle story and took place during WWII and involved the little known fact of enemy dangers on American soil, mysterious death, and possible treason. It is all wrapped together with a childhood friendship that blossoms into a sweet romance. I really enjoyed this set of novellas and they provided some hours of very pleasant reading. DISCLOSURE: I received a complimentary copy to facilitate a review. Opinions are mine, alone and are freely given. From three notable authors come three wonderful novellas based on a favorite Christmas hymn. In Hopes and Fears, Amanda Wen writes about Michigan in 1912. Old friends/ rivals Emma and Fredrick have to work together in a small rural school. They put away the past to a new future and make their peace with God. While Mortals Sleep by Janyre Tromp takes us forward to 1944 and an intriguing story of homefront WWII concerns of balloon bombs on US soil! A 6 year old girl steals the show when she has two guardians, seemingly one guardian too many. Fascinating details of a little known historical event. The Wondrous Gift by Deborah Raney, has a definite O’Henry vibe to it. I related to searching for a house in the real estate market. It was a sweet romance of two unemployed teachers who got their second chance at their dream jobs. Three well written novellas to get you in the mood for Christmas. * I received a complimentary copy of this book from Kregel on behalf of the authors. I was not required to post a favorable review.
