A wholesome, heartwarming Christmas story about the love of family, community, and a boy for his goose. It transported me back to my childhood when books like Little House on the Prairie were all I ever wanted to read. A definite must-read for old and young alike.

Disappointed
Several times I about gave up on finishing this book. I kept reading, because one, I kept hoping that it would get better. Two, I wanted to complete the series. I felt that this book was more about the children, and learning some of life's lessons, than the historical romance, that I enjoy reading about.
