Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2009 | Series: Tales from Grace Chapel Inn

About the Tales from Grace Chapel Inn series: Once readers visit the charming village of Acorn Hill, they'll never want to leave. Three sisters -- Louise, a widow from Philadelphia; Alice, an unmarried nurse who lived with her father; and Jane, a divorced chef from San Francisco -- reunite in the sleepy town after their father's death and turn the family home into a charming bed-and-breakfast. Here the sisters rekindle old memories, rediscover their childhood bonds, revel in the blessings of friendship, and meet fascinating guests along the way.

Home for the Holidays, a new Christmas installment in the bestselling Tales from Grace Chapel Inn series (over a million copies sold), takes readers back to Acorn Hill and the characters they've grown to love.

The Christmas spirit is settling over Acorn Hill, and the town is gearing up for a holiday house tour to showcase Acorn Hill's finest homes all decked out in wreathes and bows. But an unpleasant group of tourists is doing anything but making the season bright, and a stranded group of travelers shows up at the inn on Christmas Eve, seeking shelter from the storm and throwing off the sisters' plans for a quiet Christmas together. Through it all, the Howard sisters show their special blend of hospitality with their guests, who discover the importance of family and friendship -- and the true meaning of Christmas.

I love holiday book and have a large collection. Grace Chapel book are just on the edge of being a lot of religion, but they don't cross the line. I find them to be just right. They have wonderful local color, great characters, lots of love, and you will have a hard to laying it down each day. The descriptions are wonderful and they seem well researched.

We read this for my book club and while it was your typical light, sweet read - it really held a wonderfully strong message within to make for a good discussion. While the characters are not ones you will remember - the storyline is.

I found it fascinating that this is a series of books that are all written by different authors. A good read if you are looking for a book that will make you remember what Christmas is truly about and being always alert to the people God puts in our paths.... because it is always for a reason.

A sweet little Christmas story. I liked it because the main characters are about my age and it was fun to read about their adventures.
