When an alleged shortcut leads Frank passed a group of mountain homes on Christmas Day, he discovers something shocking– No one celebrates Christmas. The children doesn't even know what Christmas is about. Is Frank's shortcut a chance to "go tell it on the mountain"?
Rebekah A. Morris has lived her entire life (as of now) in Missouri. Being home educated during her school years was great, except for writing. That was the worst subject (along with math) that she had to do. It wasn't until after she graduated that she discovered the joys and wonder of writing. Now she can't write enough. After spending six years in research and writing, she completed her first book, "Home Fires of the Great War," a 500+ page, historical fiction about home life in the United States and Canada during the First World War. Since then, she has been an avid writer and always has more than one story going on at once because only one story at a time got tiring and dull.
Really liked the different ways that the song played into this story, as well as the historical backdrop (of both the song and the story). The timeline was a bit longer than expected for a short story of this size, but it felt realistic for the difficulty in reaching an isolated community like this. I would have loved to see more of the story, but the glimpses we got of the different Christmases were great for showing the progression. :)
4 stars & 4/10 hearts. I really enjoyed this story! It's short and sweet and interesting and Christmassy, with a great theme & fun characters! Great quick but satisfying Christmas read!
This is a sweet short Christmas story based on the song "Go Tell It on the Mountain." The message is perfect... reaching others with the true meaning of Christmas! It really makes me want to read a longer story all about what happened during the year before the third Christmas! I could see that being a really good story! (Hint, hint😉)
This was a really cute, faith-filled book with a good message. It was quite short (perfect for getting as many end of the year reading challenge books in, hehe)but if you have kindle unlimited that's not a problem. The only thing I didn't like about it was it was a bit confusing in parts. A great little book I would totally recommend for any age!
