O Little Town of Bethany Rene Gutteridge and Cheryl McKay

Description:

Holly left her unhappy life behind, hoping for a Christmas miracle… 

Everything about Holly Truesdale’s existence is, well…forgettable. The only good memory of her childhood is their family Christmas in the quaint town of Bethany. Tired of the high society life, Holly leaves the big city, longing to recover the sense of belonging she felt in the Victorian town. She opens a scrapbooking store, ready to help others preserve the important moments she missed as a child.

Holly is drawn to Liam, the widower who runs the B&B next door, but doesn’t fully trust herself in a new relationship. As Holly and Liam grow closer, Holly becomes concerned for the town matriarch, Miss Bethany. But even as Yuletide celebrations are in full swing, Holly and Liam can’t help but notice that Miss Bethany harbors a secret. One that could change Christmas in Bethany forever…

My thoughts on the book:

Holly has always wanted something different out or her life but when she gets a wake up call from the last person she expects, she sets off to the last place she remembers being happy and loved. A place  where a secret is buried and she wants to unbury it and see where it takes her. 
Ms. Bethany has her own set of secrets and is set to keep them just that but in the mean time she will make it one last Christmas worth remembering for everyone but most of all for her. But can she keep her secrets from the beloved town she loves so much?
I really enjoyed this book. This book is what Christmas is all about it has its trials and frustrations, but it shows family is what you make of it and the value of Christmas is not about what is given but what is done unto others. I loved how each character seemed to face a trial no matter how small but each one valued and cared for in a town of broken and loved people. It truly shows that even broken we can be a blessing to those around us. If you are looking for a short story then this is a book for you. This book will not let you down and is the perfect Christmas read.
