Christmas in Winter Hill is a charming story about a little girl who believes in the power of pray. The characters make you want to live in this little town. You'll enjoy this seasonal story.

I love and look forward to reading Melody Carlson's newest Christmas book that comes out every year!
This is no exception!
The story is light, happy and will give you a "warm and fuzzy" feeling while you turn each page.
Winter HillI is a magical little village that has a Christmas feel every day!
Sight unseen, Krista accepts a job and relocates here with her young daughter Emily.
She hopes to start fresh and find happiness for her tiny family.
Krista realizes she has no idea what she has walked in to as she begins her job and meets the town folks.
Can it really be a Chrstimas town? Is she scrooge in disguise?

The details given are amazing and you immediately get a sense of belonging and longing to be in Winter Hill. These lovely people are what we all need these days! Terrific and a quick read!

This quick read is a very sweet book about a family that's taken one too many hard knocks. The mom doesn't really want to be a Scrooge, and tries hard not to be for her daughter's sake, but it's very difficult to keep that Christmas spirit when the holiday has been a lifelong reminder of everything that's wrong with your existence. Factor in a new town, and a small town at that, and someone who's desperately trying to keep something hidden...and who gets the blame? The new kid, of course. I can't say much more without giving some important things away, so I'll leave you with this -- Melody Carlson always knows the perfect way to take a sensitive topic, bring it to the forefront, and leave you feeling cheery and good inside, wanting to go out and make more good in this world.

I've always enjoyed Melody Carlson's Christmas stories. I loved seeing Christmas through the eyes of eight year old Emily and the excitement of the whole town getting together to create Christmasville. I loved that Emily encouraged her mom, Krista love Christmas too. Though the story was predictable, it was sweet. Highly recommended!

Krista and 8 yo Emily, after divorce, start a new life in Winter Hill, how many challenges to solve: new job and school, new collegues and friends,
new car, new flat to transform to home, and chilly and snowy weather.
Emily is so eager to live there, that Krista bad thoughts and fear vanish, but she know well that "Life inevitably held disappointments. It was inescapable".
Funny Christmas story, lovely characters, very good description, easy to read, original.
