About the book: Where Treetops GlistenThe crunch of newly fallen snow, the weight of wartime
Siblings forging new paths and finding love in three stories, filled with the wonder of Christmas
Turn back the clock to a different time, listen to Bing Crosby sing of sleigh bells in the snow, as the realities of America’s involvement in the Second World War change the lives of the Turner family in Lafayette, Indiana.
In Cara Putman’s White Christmas, Abigail Turner is holding down the Home Front as a college student and a part-time employee at a one-of-a-kind candy shop. Loss of a beau to the war has Abigail skittish about romantic entanglements—until a hard-working young man with a serious problem needs her help.
Abigail’s brother Pete is a fighter pilot hero returned from the European Theater in Sarah Sundin’s I’ll Be Home for Christmas,trying to recapture the hope and peace his time at war has eroded. But when he encounters a precocious little girl in need of Pete’s friendship, can he convince her widowed mother that he’s no longer the bully she once knew?
In Tricia Goyer’s Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, Meredith Turner, “Merry” to those who know her best, is using her skills as a combat nurse on the frontline in the Netherlands. Halfway around the world from home, Merry never expects to face her deepest betrayal head on, but that’s precisely what God has in mind to redeem her broken heart.
The Turner family believes in God’s providence during such a tumultuous time. Can they absorb the miracle of Christ’s birth and His plan for a future?

My thoughts: These three authors are some of my favorite.
I love reading their books. I also love the WWII time period and reading about people’s daily lives around that time.
This book of three books is a great read for me. I loved reading about the war and the home-front and seeing how a single family could be affected by it all.
Trust me when I say that once you start reading you will become addicted and not want to stop.
So make sure you don’t start reading until you can block out a good chunk of time to sit and read the whole thing!
Or you could stop after each story, but honestly who wants to do that? I mean you want to keep going and see what else happens!
Where Treetops Glisten is a wonderful book and one I highly recommend to all my fellow readers.
