The Ninth and last story...Christmas Service by Erica Vetsch is a heartwarming and doing what God wants and not your will story. Beth is the local Pastor's granddaughter and Todd is the local Blacksmith.
You will wonder if Beth can accept help with all that is going on. There are some really humorous parts of this story. Be prepared to really laugh!
The things all of these novella's have in common is a love of God. They do all include log cabins and are set in different parts of the Country.
They are great short reads and I used them for just before going to sleep each night. Sweet dreams!!
