I have enjoyed many lovely stories by author Carol James and Crocuses for Christmas was no exception. I loved this sweet, gentle tale of hope and redemption. The author has a beautiful way with words, but it’s more than that. She has a way of drawing her reader into the lives of her characters and making their story a part of the reader’s story long after the last page is turned. I loved Hannah’s servant’s heart and Matthew’s quiet determination to go on, for the sake of his daughter, in the face of a horrific tragedy. The theme of crocuses made this story extra special to me, as I have also experienced the comfort of early - blooming crocuses following devastating loss. Crocuses for Christmas is not just a beautiful love story, but a story of God’s beautiful, amazing grace. I highly recommend it!
