"This tender love story between two wounded people whom God brings together for healing is a book readers will enjoy anytimeâ??but especially at Christmas!" â??Francine Rivers, New York Times bestselling author of Redeeming Love and A Voice in the Wind

Amid war and the fading dream of the Confederacy, a wounded soldier and a destitute widow discover the true meaning of Christmasâ??and sacrificial love.

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 positionâ??only to discover it's been filled. Then a chance meeting with a wounded soldier offers another opportunityâ??and friendship. But can Aletta trust this man?

Captain Jake Winston, a revered Confederate sharpshooter, suffered a head wound at the Battle of Chickamauga. When doctors deliver their diagnosis, Jake fears losing not only his greatest skill but his very identity. As he heals, Jake is ordered to assist with a local Women's Relief Society auction. He respectfully objects. Kowtowing to a bunch of "crinolines" isn't his idea of soldiering. But orders are orders, and he soon discovers this group of ladiesâ??one, in particularâ??is far more than he bargained for.

Set against the backdrop and history of the Carnton Plantation in Franklin, Tennessee, Christmas at Carnton is a story of hope renewed and faith restor… (plus d'informations)

This was a wonderful book! I loved the characters, the storyline and plot and I especially liked the ending. It also made me aware of how people waiting at home for those in a war are suffering as much as the people fighting the actual wars. I look forward to the next book by this author! ( )

Wow! I was surprised at how much I loved this novella! I sometimes think that I don't enjoy historical fiction but this one I really enjoyed! It's an easy read that's just perfect for the Holiday season! I've never read any Tamera Alexander novels before, but apparently, I need to start! I look forward to reading her upcoming Carnton series!

I received a copy of this book for free. I was not required to post a positive review and the views and opinions expressed are my own. ( )

Christmas 2018 - NICE!

I enjoyed this well-written story set in the South during the Civil War, but the author made some very strange choices that really bothered me and undercut the romance for me. I didn't like the fact that Letta's husband had only been killed a MONTH earlier, and she was PREGNANT with his child, when she fell in love with a new man, Jake. As a romance I think the story would have been much more effective and sympathetic if she had been widowed for longer, and only had her small son. It seemed very callous to me; especially because in the beginning she went on and on about how much she loved her husband. If her relationship with Jake was based on sheer practicality - here I am a pregnant widow with no way to make a living and here's this handsome man willing to take me and my son and my unborn child - then it would have been more palatable to me. And then she could have fallen for him after making that pragmatic decision. But instead it's presented as straight romance: Oh, such a shame my awesome husband died last month but I'm crazy in love with this new guy now.
