She feels she’s lost everything…

Will love give her hope?

When a wildfire destroys her home, widowed schoolteacher Tori Stallings finds herself unexpectedly living with her mother- and brother-in-law—and struggling with her faith. With everything Tori owns consumed by the blaze, Micah vows to help his late brother’s wife and son rebuild their lives. The two of them have always been friends, but living under the same roof has their friendship turning into something more. Can love bloom amid tragic loss and shaken beliefs, and give them a fresh start for Christmas?

My Review

From the first chapter I knew this was going to be a story that touched my heart and that’s exactly what Discovering Christmas did. From the first chapter, I felt a kindred spirit in Tori. I haven’t lost nearly as much as she has but I could identify with her crisis of faith on a very personal level. If we’re all honest with ourselves, I think we’ve all had those moments of questioning why things are allowed to happen, and allowing our minds to go to those dark places, so seeing Tori’s struggle felt personal to me.

Micah is the perfect pairing for Tori, especially during this tumultuous time in her life. He is a great partner and shows grace, kindness, and patience at every turn. We all could use a Micah in our lives. I have loved this series and adore the community that is Hope Crossing so it’s always nice seeing some familiar faces.

I was able to read this while out of town visiting family for the Thanksgiving holiday and it was perfect in length and tone, and really lent and even more festive cheer to the trip. This is such a sweet story with a wonderful message that is both timely and important, and I cannot recommend it enough.

My Rating: ★★★★★
