A Victorian Christmas Cottage, Four Novellas about Love and Joy at Christmastime by Catherine Palmer; Debra White Smith; Jeri Odell & Peggy Stoks and published by Tyndale.
This engaging seasonal collection of novellas set during the Victorian era in England and America opens with Palmer's "Under His Wings," a retelling of the story of Ruth. In Debra White Smith's "Christmas Past," two young people struggle to put disappointments of childhood behind them and find a love for the future. Jeri Odell's "A Christmas Hope" teaches a vain young woman that earthly riches pale next to love, and Peggy Stoks's "The Beauty of the Season" offers an obvious lesson that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
