One Lonely Thanksgiving
Some Thanksgivings are meant to last a lifetime. It's Thanksgiving 1905 and Margie Thornton is deserted for the holiday by her uncle's family. She expects to be alone for Thanksgiving, but God has other plans. As the snow clouds roll in, so does an amazing set of events that will forever change the hearts and lives of those the storm affected. Margie must now fight her uncle's insistence to marry her off. Can she stave him off, hoping for the promise of a man she barely knows but to whom no man compares? Will she have the faith to wait for the promise she holds in her heart and pray for the trials of those she has come to love? She fights the imminent but longs for the impossible.

4.5 Stars! I really did enjoy this not so lonely Thanksgiving. God places us in a family. This "family" was formed in quite unique circumstances. There is a strong faith message running throughout. Listening for Gods voice, praying and waiting. All in His timing, not ours.
I loved the romance in the story as well. More than one romance really, but you will have to read this novella for yourself.
Johnny and Margie were made for each other. The author did a wonderful job of telling their story!
I first read this novella after Thanksgiving last year. I pulled it out and read it again this year. It is a wonderful reminder I'm sure I will read it again next year too.

A sweet thanksgiving event that brings strangers together and sets the course for lives to be changed. Awesome example of God's tender love and healing.

When Father God says He’ll take what the enemy has planned for evil and use it for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28) He ain’t kidding.
And Ms. Mauck expresses it so well in her story. And not just a single good thing for Margie Thornton, but, well, you’ll just have to read the story to find out.
It’s a common plight of orphaned children—sent to live with relatives. For some, it’s a happy ending. For others, like Margie, not so much, living more as a servant than a family member.
But God had other ideas. And as He is so often wont to do, He keeps His plans from us. We only discover His secrets as they come our way.
Devoted to God, Margie trusts Him even in the darkest times. Even when things look hopeless and all seems lost.
But then those seeming random moments occur and…
A beautiful story of faith and hope, of dreams fulfilled, Ms. Mauck expresses the life of a true believer with heart and feeling and passion.
