Krista Galloway is not a fan of Christmas. After her rough childhood in multiple foster homes, the holiday season just brings too many bad memories to the surface. But when she accepts a job as a city manager in the mountain town of Winter Hill, Washington, Christmas is part of the deal. The small town is famous for its Christmasville celebration, something that the city manager . . . well, manages.
As she tries to make her tiny new apartment feel like home for her and her eight-year-old daughter, Emily, Krista begins to wonder if this move was a mistake. She doesn't always feel welcomed in the close-knit town, and Emily continually wonders, "Where's the snow?" Can a friendly stranger and his family help restore Krista's Christmas spirit before the big day?
Bestselling author Melody Carlson invites you to spend this holiday season in a town you'll never forget--and never want to leave.

My Review
One of my favorite parts of Christmas is reading a new Christmas book by Melody Carlson. Carlson creates a holiday atmosphere in which the reader is fully immersed in the town's Christmas celebration. More than that, the characters are people that the reader could expect to meet in any day's comings and goings. Krista, the main character, has to be tough, both professionally and as a single mother, but she also knows the value of integrity, truthfulness, and compassion. This was a short book, but one in which the reader can join the town of Winter Hill in their Christmasville celebration.
I received a copy of this book from the author for review purposes. The thoughts expressed here are my own.
