Melody Carlson recommends
Christmas in the Castle Library (2024)
Ann Swindell
"Christmas in the Castle Library is a brilliant debut novel! Packed with every delicious ingredient any reader could desire in a Christmas story - mystery, romance, spirituality, realistic characters... all in a delightful fairytale setting. Heroine Ellie Sawyer is imperfectly perfect and quite loveable. The author's pacing throughout is compelling, her description delightful, her spiritual elements skillfully woven, and her story satisfying. Well done, Ann!"
Christmas at Sugar Plum Manor (2024)
Roseanna M White
"So many delightful layers to this tale, along with intriguing characters and beautiful descriptions. . . . It really puts you in the mood for Christmas."
Beneath the Bending Skies (2022)
Jane Kirkpatrick
"Jane Kirkpatrick never fails to take us away on unforgettable journeys. Molly and Peter's story is no different. What amazing lives they led! Their resilience and love was a legacy that lives on--thanks to Jane's gifted storytelling!"
