Each of these four novellas is a heartwarming
story that is sure to bring a satisfied sigh from readers.
Their short length makes them a quick read that could fill
the time between holiday plans, shopping and baking that keep most
of us busy at this time of year.
Warm characters, simple plots, and tales of true love are
all found within CHRISTMAS THREADS.
Included at the end of Janet Spaeth’s
novella is a wonderful recipe that I am sure to try out this year.
