For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." John 3:16-17

Christmas at Holly Hill



ISBN: 978-1-61638-837-9
 Paperback, 293 pages
Reams Publisher

I always like to read anything Martha Rogers writes and I love Christmas stories anytime of year so this is the perfect book for me.
As I start the story Clay Barlow had just gotten out of prison and returned home to Prairie Grove Kansas in the year 1898. He had served his time for bank robbery and did not know what he was going to do with his life now and what type of job would he be able to get.

His own Dad had turned him in about the bank robbery and was surprised that both his parents had forgiven him for this deed. They both opened their arms wide to him as in the Bible story of the prodigy son. But a lot of people in the town were not happy at all to see him come home. But he finds himself back with Merry Warner and all feeling for her was returning. Can the town forgive him or will they always hold this mistake against him?

But when the gang he had been a member of shows back up in town will he rejoin them or will he find this would get him into trouble again. Should he risk his life to help rescue a young girl they were holding captive and was being mistreated, would he find himself back in prison or worst dead.

This is a good Christmas read and you will find the story will keep you turning page after page.

Thanks so much to Charisma House for sending me this book for my review.
