Christmas in Winter Hill

GIVEAWAY
RANDOM RETRO READ DAY!

CARLSON, MELODY

CHRISTMAS IN WINTER HILL

Krista Galloway is not a fan of Christmas, due to bad memories of the holiday season during her childhood in multiple foster homes. But when she accepts a job as a city manager in the town of Winter Hill, Washington, Christmas is part of the deal. The small town is famous for its Christmasville celebration, which is coordinated by the city manager. 

As Krista tries to make her tiny new apartment feel like home for her and her eight-year-old daughter, Emily, she wonders if this move was a mistake. She doesn't always feel welcomed in the close-knit town. Can a friendly stranger and his family help restore Krista's Christmas spirit before the big day?

My Review:

published in 2019

First off -- love this cover! It's definitely beckoning me to settle in and spend some time in Winter Hill! Picture postcard perfect, especially since this is a town that does Christmas in a very big way. It's idyllic, really...unless you aren't a big fan of all the seasonal hohohoing. And Krista isn't. She's not a Scrooge though, just a wounded soul who has a stockpile of rotten Christmas pasts in her arsenal which tends to colour her present day holiday experiences. But she tries valiantly to get her jingle on for the sake of her eight-year-old daughter.

New job, new town. Fresh start. It's the perfect opportunity for this single mom to get a second chance at life...and love. If only the whole pesky Christmasville celebration would just go away! :-)

Carlson works her own special brand of holiday magic that's sure to please ardent Hallmark movie fans -- in fact, come to think of it, this would make a perfect Christmas special! Charming town, eclectic townsfolk, a little drama courtesy of the town Grinch and the sweet innocent hope of a young child at Christmas.
