My Review
Color me surprised when the first two stories had meet cutes involving precocious goats. I was watching to see if this would remain a theme, but alas it did not.
That being said I was delighted with all four stories in this anthology and would have loved to have more. To me a good story leaves me satisfied but wanting to read more from the author. These stories do just that.
I love Christmas stories, these have been added to the stories that I love. There is an overwhelming feeling of love and spirit in these stories.. Each story is different and carries its own magic. with each author bringing their own distinct voice to this work. There is laughter, family, spirit, healing, learning, and growing.
I will have to read this one again as the holidays set in.
