Fred’s Gift (Bettie Boswell) I enjoyed reminiscing about the past in this story as Dawn read the letter her father had left her. It made me think of my own parents who have passed on.
Evie’s Letter (Cindy Thomson) Evie’s only Christmas wish was to see her mother happy again. The part I enjoyed most about this story is that differences can be set aside where friendship can be made.
Courtesy Turn (Rebecca Waters) I would love to see this made into a full-length novel. As it is it left me hanging, wanting more of an ending.
Surprised by Love (Sandra Merville) A suspenseful and exhilarating story that kept me turning pages in an eagerness to see what would happen next. This story has a satisfying ending.
Cold Read (Sharyn Kopf) This is a dual-time novel (1933-Present), with a ghost. Even though there is a glossary for theater terms I found this story to be a quick, easy read and I didn’t have to peruse the glossary. I like how the heroine describes the hero: very nice-looking, strong and he has good teeth.
Debt to Pay (JPC Allen) Out of all the stories this one was the hardest for me to understand. It seemed as if it was only part of a story. I would like to see it written out as a complete novel.
Soldier’s Heart (Tamera Lynn Kraft) This story touches on Da Costa’s Syndrome (PTSD) during the 1800s. It is very informative on what may happen when a soldier has (PTSD). Parts of the story made me sad, made me want to cry. I appreciate that God is shown as the source of healing. I recommend this story to fans of romantic suspense.
Summer Song (Michelle L Levigne) This is a Tabor Heights novella; sequel to Firesong. I strongly suggest reading Firesong first to get the backstory, as Firesong is the main theme in this story. I suggest this book to fans of romantic suspense.
Christmas Angels (Carole Brown) This was my most favorite story about how friendship was shown to a mother and her baby during the war in 1943.
Overall, I enjoyed some of the stories more than others, thinking some were way too short while others too long for an anthology. As mentioned, I would love to see some of these stories written in a novel of their own. After saying that, I recommend this book to fans of anthologies.
