Marla yearns to strengthen her relationship with her adult daughter, so she teams up with a local contractor on a bold project that thrills her daughter but sets the town abuzz with controversy.

Rachel turns her recently deceased husband’s service station into a thriving business, but her swelling head threatens to ruin her friendships as well as a budding romance.

Suzanne grapples with her greatest fears—poverty and divorce—while navigating unexpected challenges presented by an old friend and a brand-new husband.

Join these inspiring women as they continue to grow in friendship, faith, and later-in-life love. Set against the backdrop of a small town and culminating in a heartwarming Christmas celebration, all three women experience the true gifts of the season.

A new-to-me author, I was intrigued by the premise of three older women as the main characters (especially as I’m not closer in age to them than I am to 20yo characters). I didn’t realize this was book three in a series, but I didn’t feel like I was missing anything by jumping in at the end. Posti did a good job laying the foundation from the previous novels (though it’s always a big confusing so late in a series when there are so many names you don’t yet recognize).

This book had a lot of things that I love:
– women’s fiction with romance
– small town setting
– some serious topics with a lighthearted touch
– old and new friendships

Overall, it was a fun story with a sweet message.

Rated PG.
