Book Review: Where Treetops Glisten

Wow! So I guess it's a little late for a Christmas book review, but I guess you can look forward to reading this book next year! :) I love having Christmas books to read at Christmastime. It seems very strange to me to read "normal" books at such a special season. A lot of times, I just find quick books to read, very light and fluffy. This year, I was very excited to have "Where Treetops Glisten" especially since one of the contributors is one of my favorite authors, Sarah Sundin!

The book is composed of three novellas each about a sibling in one family and spans most of World War II. This is such a spectacular period in our nations history and I love books set in this period, especially since my grandparents were teens/young adults in this time. My grandpa served in the Pacific in the Army Air Corps. The stories follow Abigail, Peter, and Meredith Turner as they do their part in helping the war effort. Abigail has no interest in romance after losing her boyfriend at Pearl Harbor. Pete is home from the war but suffering from the mental anguish caused by hard fighting. Merry is a nurse hoping to go to the warm Pacific, but ends up in cold Europe. Each of these siblings finds love in unexpected places.

I really enjoyed reading this book! I love the descriptions of the town (especially Glatz candy shop where Abigail worked!) I also loved that each of the stories are connected. The authors are established in their writing and know how to compose excellent stories. I really enjoyed reading this book through the Christmas season!
