Where Treetops Glisten
by Tricia Goyer,
Cara Putman
& Sarah Sundin
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 front line 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 Review ~
Three much-loved authors have composed their fictitious renditions of a World War II Christmas, each based on one of the siblings in the Turner family. Family and faith are very strong elements in these three tales of the Turner siblings. I found each of the stories very touching, inspiring and filled with love and devotion.
Although the writing styles of these authors vary, they have each woven a very heartwarming, romantic and inspirational story surrounding their particular character. I highly recommend this romantic, sentimental collection of Christmas stories that occur during a very difficult time in our nation's history. I will undoubtedly read this book again.

I don't typically read many Christmas stories, but these sound wonderful. It doesn't hurt any knowing they are written by three terrific authors.
ReplyDeleteI may not get my copy before Christmas but I will certainly be picking one up.
Great review, as usual, Nancee.
Cindi, this is one Christmas book that you shouldn't miss. It's written so beautifully! Each author has her own style, and each story stands on its own. Sarah Sundin's was outstanding!
