I've read Melody Carlson's books on and off since my pre-teen years. When I saw the opportunity from the publisher, Revell, to read this book I was happy to choose to accept. Christmas In Winter Hill (Revell), by Melody Carlson, is a light-hearted Christmas-y novella that's perfect to get you in the holiday spirit. It can easily be read in one sitting on a snowy day with your favorite hot beverage.
Single mom, Krista, moves from Phoenix to small town Winter Hill in the Pacific Northeast with her young daughter Emily when she accepts to job as the town's manager. To Emily's delight Winter Hill turns into a sort of North Pole celebration from Thanksgiving through the Christmas holiday, even offering a "Christmas house" to be won via contest. Krista, however is a Christmas baby who grew up in foster care and therefore hates Christmas as she was always forgotten on that day. How can she help facilitate building the Christmas spirit when she's a grinch?
While it's not the most amazing book I've ever read; I would recommend it if you want something quick and easy to get you in the holiday spirit. It would make a great Hallmark movie (which I can't get enough of).
A copy of this book was provided to me for review by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
