Another with four short novellas with each centered around their grandmother. The first is the new love for the grandmother and the other three are her daughter and granddaughters. Each has been in love with that special someone, but it just didn't work out. Now they are back to their hometown to celebrate their grandmothers love only to find out theirs is reuniting.

Four authors, one story

This book was interesting. It was a little cringey at times, but what Christmas romance book isn't? So all in all it was pretty good.

[Alexandra Adams]

Great group of stories over all. Worth a quick read.

I haven't read a four author novella collection in about two years. This one was good. It tied together nicely and I read all four novellas. I think I enjoyed the first story the best (Silver Bells by Debby Mayne) because it made me tear up. I am not a fan of Christmas stories in general, but this book was a winner and it can be read in January or any time of years that it's snowing outside, not just at Christmas. I think that's why I enjoyed it so much. I didn't find it sappy but actually well-plotted and interesting. All four stories were very romantic and very different. The conflict was also very different in each story. While not edgy, if you like romance then this collection of stories will definitely tug at your heart strings. :)

This is a wonderful book written by 4 different authors but telling the story of one family. Even though it is written by four different authors, the stories flowed smoothly one right into the other. It was such a tender Christmas story with a wonderful Gospel story flowing through it of forgiveness and hope. Even though it is a Christmas story, it can be enjoyed year round. This is a book I will want to read again.

These take place in Colorado. All center around Christmas. Not the best but not the worst I have read either.

Christmas Homecoming is comprised of four interrelated stories by four different authors. A main character of each story are all members of the same extended family. Easy and enjoyable read.
