Are you looking for a story that isn’t too long, doesn’t have any romance in it, is historical, and delightful? Perhaps one you can read this afternoon before that event you need to go to. Today’s story might just be what you are looking for.
Home Forever by Angie Thompson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love this story. Magda just makes me want to hug her, and I’d be happy for her to look at my car. It was fun to have Magda so interested and knowledgeable about cars and how they work as that’s not something I’ve seen often (if ever!). Vi and Jim are such sweet, caring, wonderful people. And don’t forget all the children! Nothing one-dimensional about these characters. The story itself captured my heart and made me tear up a few times. (Not something that happens often to me.) All the Christmas things, and the ending especially! It’s not a very long story, but neither is it a short one.
I know I’ll be reading this story again.
Have you read this story in A Homewood Christmas? Do you enjoy historical Christmas stories? Do you enjoy lots of children in a book or do you get confused?
