Where the Treetops Glisten
Where
the Treetops Glisten is a great book to read to get you in the Christmas mood.
It consists of three short stories set in during World War II. All three short stories focus on one family,
the Turner family. White Christmas by Cara Putman
Abigail Turner is a college student at Purdue University. Abigail’s recent loss of her boyfriend to the
war has left her unsure of her future. She has vowed not to get involved with
another man until the war ends. But when Jackson Lucas arrives in town with
serious law problems, she knows the best person to help him with it, her
father. As her father begins to solve Jackson’s problems, Abigail and Jackson
become close friends. Abigail soon finds herself going back from her vow. I’ll be home for Christmas by Sarah
Sundin
“I’ll be Home for Christmas” follows Abigail’s brother Pete,
a fighter pilot in the war. After getting a release from being a fighter pilot,
Pete goes home just in time for Christmas. When he returns home he meets a
little girl in need of a friend. But when he meets the little girl’s mother,
things begin to change. He is determined to prove to the little girl’s widowed
mother that he is a changed man and not at all like the boy she used to know. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
by Tricia Goyer
“Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas follows Abigail and
Pete’s little sister, Merry. Merry works as a combat nurse to wounded soldiers
in the Netherlands. She begins to feel home sickness with the approaching date
of Christmas. Especially since she recently went through a terrible breakup
with a German named David. I
loved every one of these stories. Although at times I felt like the story was
being rushed or it was quick to end. But that is to be expected with short
stories. That being said I still enjoyed these stories and recommend it to anyone
wanting to read a good Christmas book. This is a great book to read to get you in the
Christmas mood; I know it did for me. I
rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.
I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.
