Title: An Inconvenient Christmas
Author: Sara R. Turnquist
Date: 2017
Quote: "How had she become so blessed?"
Brandon, who'd rather be a rancher than a lawyer, and Amanda, who needed a good stepfather for her little boy, fell in love in another book in this series. As the holiday season approaches, they're living happily ever after. Then Brandon's parents come out for a visit--a surprise to them, but not to the uncle from whom Brandon got the idea of ranching--and Christmas is almost ruined. But of course this is a sweet Christian romance; True Love and True Faith will prevail.
While some of the expressions the characters use sound more like 2023's than like 1923's, the story of reconciliation between young people and their parents is timeless. I can tell that I'm reading a modern historical novel rather than something by Kathleen Norris (the early twentieth century one) or Edna Ferber. But I never was either of those authors' biggest fan, so I don't mind. Probably you won't either.
A Christmas book at the holidays is always a treat, no matter the century! Thanks for cruising by earlier this week, too! Merry!
