A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

A Victorian Christmas - Catherine Palmer

I have read enough of Catherine Palmer to assume that she is a pretty safe author to go to when I want a satisfying read.  She didn't let me down with this recent Christmas freebie.

There are four stories in this book: Angel in the Attic, Lone Star, Under His Wings and Behold the Lamb.  One is set in the west and the other three are in England.  There is a transition in the second story where the lady is heading to England from America for an arranged marriage.

There are also four recipes, one at the end of each story.  I thought they sounded yummy, so when I finished the entire book, I wanted to go back and find them.  I ended up using the search word "flour" because I couldn't recall the names of the recipes.  You gotta work with what ya got!

I'm not going to summarize the stories themselves.  They are short enough, I don't need to make them any shorter!  I was wanting more at the end of them and that tells me that I really enjoyed the read.  This one was a no brainer for a Good Book! review.
