Book Title: Joy to the World: A Regency Christmas Collection Book Author: Carolyn Miller, Amanda Barratt, Erica Vetsch What do you like about this book:
Joy to the world, indeed! These lovely short stories, written with accomplished grace, will have readers humming the words of this most beloved Christmas hymn for days to come.
Could Christmas possibly gift two hearts with a second chance? Misunderstandings and changes of circumstances should never have kept them apart in the first place for . . . "there was no room for pride, not when life begged to be lived". - Carolyn Miller, Heaven and Nature Sing
Two haunted and overlooked souls bond through difficulty and distress while discovering that the words of an ancient hymn can take on new meaning; "Not merely a carol sung at Christmastide, but an encompassing of the miracle of Christ's birth in all its wonder and promise". - Amanda Barratt, Far as the Curse is Found
"She was Lady Priscilla Haverly, dutiful, soft spoken, accommodating, and always steering toward the safest path. Such it has always been, and such would it always be." Let's certainly hope not. An endearing Scottish painter is about to shake up Cilla's perfectly manicured world. "After all, it would be Christmas, the time of year when miracles were supposed to occur" . - Erica Vetsch, Wonders of His Love
