This review is from: Christmas Homecoming: The Heart of a Stranger/A Place to Call Home/Christmas Legacy (HeartQuest Christmas Anthology) (Paperback)

This warm Christmas collection gives us glimpses of far differing areas of the United States in the late 1800s, but they are all linked by the them of homecoming. And what makes Christmas any better than loved ones returning to their own? In A Place to Call Home, society woman Olivia Enicott-Jones is an unlikely companion for Irish immigrant Rory O?Kelly. The way they overcome these obstacles gives a lively and interesting read. The Heart of a Stranger, a delightful story, shows that people change and often what we think we know is not exactly true. Susannah Pruitt and Justin Rouser demonstrate this in an unusual way. Christmas Legacy tells the story of widow Josephine Patterson and widower Ben Akers.
