A Victorian Christmas Anthology by Catherine Palmer

This was a collection of four stories all taking place around Christmas.  They all also dealt with women who were going to be getting married, either by choice or by arrangement.  Everything takes place in the late 1800's from the mid-west to England.  Not only are these women dealing with a pending marriage they are also dealing with some type of loss, be it a parent, husband or family.  All of these stories also call on God to guide them and showing the men in thier lives the importance of giving themselves to Christ.  As you know, christian fiction is really not my cup of tea, but Palmer did a beautiful job telling these stories, pulling you in and making you feel a part of the story and part of these womens lives.  Palmer is known for her christian ficition and has won awards and I can understand why. (NOOK)
