Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2020
Christmas Sisters is a prequel to a new series, Soul Sisters at Cedar Mountain Lodge. This novella is written by five different authors, each author focusing on a different main character, but all of the short stories blend seamlessly together. What a unique and wonderful way to introduce the reader to the new series written by Tammy L. Grace, Tess Thompson, Judith Keim, Ev Bishop and Violet Howe.
In this current season, as we all navigate the journey and trauma that has resulted from such a tumultuous time, the Christmas Sisters is a welcomed novella about the power and strength of love and compassion. The protagonist, Maddie, rather than allowing loss and despair consume her, chooses to transfer her love to four unsuspecting girls - all who have experienced their own sense of trauma throughout their lives - and allow it to transform their circumstances for the better. The use of multiple authors help create a uniqueness to each character that allows for the voices of each character to shine.
Normally I would write a much longer review, but in this instance, I feel that giving away too much will spoil the story. This is a story that will truly tug at your heartstrings, and you will want to see each character finally have the life they were previously denied. Christmas Sisters perfectly lays the groundwork for the remaining books in the series. I was completely hooked from the very first page until the very last...and I am patiently counting down until I can read the rest of the Soul Sisters at Cedar Mountain Lodge series.
I would like to thank Judith Keim for allowing me the opportunity to read an review an ARC of Christmas Sisters. My views are my own, and are in no way influenced by anyone else.
