Biography

Lisa Belcastro lives with her family on Martha’s Vineyard. Her inspiration for the Winds of Change trilogy and A Shenandoah Christmas came while she was chaperoning two Tisbury School summer sails with her daughter, Kayla, aboard the schooner Shenandoah. The weeklong adventure, sans electricity, Game Boys, iPods and modern conveniences, kindled her imagination to dream of an altogether different voyage. In addition to writing Shenandoah Nights, Shenandoah Crossings, Shenandoah Dreams, and A Shenandoah Christmas, Lisa currently pens the cuisine column for Vineyard Style Magazine. She has worked as a staff and freelance reporter and photographer for the Chronicle of the Horse and as assistant editor at the Blue Ridge Leader. She has written articles for USA Today, Dressage (London), USA WEEKEND Magazine, the Blue Ridge Leader and Sidelines. When she’s not at her desk working on A Dream for Love, the first novel in the upcoming (im)Possible Dreams trilogy, Lisa is volunteering at her daughter’s school, serving in her church community, planting and weeding her numerous gardens, running marathons with TEAM 413, training for her first fifty-mile road race, or enjoying a prayer walk along the beach, looking for sea glass.

My Review ~

This is a beautiful Christmas novella based on the Roberts family from Lisa Belcastro's Winds of Change series. Lisa has brought to light the beauty and spiritual importance of the true meaning of Christmas. 

In this brief narrative the members of the Roberts family not only celebrate the birth of Christ, and God's infinite love, but share examples of the importance of unconditional love in all circumstances,  

Although brief, "A Shenandoah Christmas" is expressive and inspirational, spiritually rich in love, and truly a celebration of Christmas. Also included are the first chapters from each of the three books in the Winds of Change series. This book would make a wonderful gift! Pick up several copies, one for yourself, and others for friends and family. This book can be enjoyed in an evening.
