Testimonials
I loved these stories – I mean, why shouldn’t I?
They were charming short stories, one for each month of the year! If you need a particular story to fit a particular month, these are the stories for you!

When thinking of a word to describe Rebekah’s books, I think the best one would be gentle. While there is action in some, heartbreak in another, and lessons to be learned in yet another, none of them are gritty, none of them are scary, and none of them are hard to read. Her stories, while not always happy, are the kind that young and old can enjoy together.
This is a collection of short stories she wrote, one for each month of the year. I listened to them all in a few days, but I think it would be a lot of fun to listen to one each month.
