Bethany Kringle is planning to skip Christmas, like she has both years since her mom died. She thinks it’s the perfect plan…until her brother, Matt, tells her he’s taking leave from the Navy to come home for Christmas. And he’s bringing his friend, Jay, with him. Now, Bethany must fight through her grief to give them the best Christmas possible.
Jay MacDonald is afraid that God wants him to leave the Navy, the only place he has ever belonged. He’s also nervous about spending Christmas with his friend’s family, until he meets Matt’s sister who helps put him at ease. Jay immediately notices the grief Bethany is trying to hide and resolves to help her in any way he can.
As Jay supports Bethany, the two can’t help being drawn to each other. Could God use this Christmas to bring them both peace and possibly bring them together as well?
A Kringle Family Christmas will connect with readers who have struggled to navigate the Christmas season after loss. I especially enjoyed Jay’s perceptiveness of the work involved in holiday traditions; we need more men like him!
Bethany Kringle and her father are planning to go backpacking and ignore Christmas again this year. Her mom had always been the driving force of the family holidays, making Christmas a special time filled with family traditions. When her mom died, Bethany and her Dad found the idea of celebrating Christmas without Mom too painful. So, they escaped by going backpacking. When her brother brings a Navy friend, Jay, home for Christmas, Bethany is forced to revive the family traditions. But something happens this Christmas that makes it like no other. This is a sweet story of love and overcoming. Perfect for the holiday season.
This lovely story is a portrait of three kinds of love. The love of a family. The love between a man and a woman. And the love of God. A Kringle Family Christmas is a must read for anyone who enjoys a romantic, faith based Christmas story.
