” The Gift Of Christmas Past” by Cindy Woodsmall and Erin Woodsmall *christian book review*

The Gift Of Christmas Past: A Southern Romance by Cindy Woodsmall and Erin Woodsmall

The book description was really intriguing to me and I’m so glad I decided to read this book! Very enjoyable story line, good steady pace, great characters, great writing by both authors.

This book had lots of lessons about forgiveness, love, trust, friendship, and God’s love to name a few. I was amazed at the hardships that Hadley had to overcome as a foster child, but with the help of her friends; they all became successful members of society and turned towards job professions that helped others.

Hadley and Monroe are separated towards the end of high school and are later reunited 10 years later. They had wanted to run away and get married but a misunderstanding tore them apart and even 10 years later, hurt and distrust remain. I loved reading about the friendship of Hadley and Elliott, Trent and Monroe. I also really liked that the authors included an epilogue 4 years later so we could read more of the characters and their lives.

I read this story in one night because I really enjoyed it. I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.
