About the book
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 thoughts:
I love anything that is penned by Melody Carlson, but her Christmas books are always ones I look forward to. She certainly did not disappoint in Christmas in Winter Hill. I loved Krista Galloway and completely understood her dismay when finding out how the new small town goes out for the holidays. Of course her 8-year old daughter is beyond thrilled and is ready for their adventure. As the new city manager Krista has her work cut out for her, while settling into a new home and a new routine.
I can see how moving from Phoenix to the small town of Winter Hill would be a big adjustment but I have to say I liked the little town filled with warm, welcoming people. There was only one character that I didn't like but he wasn't supposed to be that likeable.
Did I get a bit emotional near the end of the book, why yes I did and that's when I know the author has written a book that will stay with me through the holidays and well after.
If anyone is looking for looking for a fast, sweet read with delightful characters than I highly recommend this one.
