Book Review

Rediscovering Christmas is the fifth book in the Hope Crossing series. I had not personally read all of the previous books in the series and found I was able to enjoy this one just fine as a standalone. 

Right from the start, this story absolutely drew me in as we see Tori- who has already been through so much heartache- lose her home in a fire leaving her questioning God. I think this is sadly an experience that many can find themselves relating to and I loved the way it played out in this story with such a beautiful message of faith. She also finds her feelings towards her brother-in-law (who had been her best friend since they were young) start to change as she spends more time with him in the same home. Honestly, a romance between a widow and her brother-in-law has the potential to be an absolute disaster... but the author did such a great job with their story. I don't want to give away any spoilers, but it worked for their story, and I found myself rooting for these two to get their happily ever after. It was definitely a slow burn, but so perfect for their story. This is a beautiful story of healing, love and faith and one perfect for the holiday season.
