Review:
Katie Vale has come with her boyfriend, Micah Binder, to the Binder grandparents’ cottage for Christmas. It was enough to get to meet all of his family but she wasn’t prepared for a marriage proposal. Katie does care for Micah, but Katie, an only child, comes from a toxic relationship background. She sees the strong, loving relationships in Micah’s large family, and she believes that she cannot subject this wonderful man to the risk shown by the failed relationships in her family and ancestors.
When Katie says “no” to the proposal she is prepared to face anger and resentment from the filled cottage. Instead, she is warmly welcomed and cared for. Katie wonders how she could ever fit in with these gracious, passionate people. Each day of the holiday the family shares a different tradition that shares the true meaning of Christmas. Katie is conflicted and thinks she may leave before Christmas eve but events have her standing with the family through a crisis. But can Micah convince Katie that he is willing to love her (baggage and all) for all their future Christmases?
This is a beautiful story of a strong Christian family who are truly loving, caring and share great Christmas traditions. The bonfire scene is great. Katie is a difficult character to understand because she was so absorbed by her past and her mistakes. Micah, on the other hand, is a warm, lovely character.
The ladies of my book club all enjoyed this book and we will look for more books from this author. I recommend this to readers who enjoy warm, Christian romance.
