ABOUT THE BOOK
Anna and Henry will be celebrating their first Christmas as a married couple, and for Katie and Jonathan Lundy, it's their first Christmas with baby Stefan. Winnie and Samuel Miller plan to stop by as well for a wonderful two weeks of family and rest.
But when two unexpected visitors show up, hoping to stay for Christmas, the family must test their commitment to hospitality. Levi is a widower who lost his wife four years ago and can't bear the thought of another Christmas alone. And Melody is a young pregnant woman who won't open up about how she ended up on her own at Christmas at almost nine months pregnant.
Anna, who knows a thing or two about keeping secrets, doesn't trust her, and strives to find out the truth about these two strangers who have disrupted their holiday. But as the Christmas spirit descends on them all, as well as snow that traps them in the inn, a healing and hopefulness takes over, allowing new relationships to be built, and the boundaries of family to be extended.

My Review:
This is my first Shelley Shepard Gray book. Although I didn’t feel it was a gripping, edge of your seat, page turner, I did really enjoy it. It was a very relaxed read. A story that makes you feel good. A story full of JOY and hope.
I think spending the holidays tucked away at an Amish Bed and Breakfast for the Christmas season, learning to let go of past hurts, sounds like an amazing time. Add that to the beautiful snow and the simpler way of life, and it makes me want to be there.
But will what started out as an unexpected and somewhat unwanted situation turn into a beautiful Christmas, or will it be a disaster for all involved. Will Melody get back home before the baby comes? Will Levi deal with his hurt and anger? Will Katie and the family make the best of the holidays with their guests?
This book is definitely worth reading!! Light a fire, grab a blanket and a cup of coffee, and enjoy this feel good book!!
Thank you CFBA for the complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion!!
