About the Book Mistletoe Village
Book: Mistletoe Village
Author: Kathleen J. Robison
Genre: Holiday Romance
Release date: November 30, 2021
Two broken women, two defeated children. Can Grace offer what they’re looking for? When the big city holds nothing but painful memories for sisters Rence and Sandy, they pack it up and head out for Grace and the promises it holds.
Promises of a new start. A new job at Grace General for Rence and a place to begin healing. But most of all, a promise to each of the sisters’ hurting children that a real Christmas awaits them in Grace, complete with snow on giant evergreens and lots of Mistletoe Magic.
But despite its Christmas card atmosphere, Grace, Oregon seems to hold a lot of secrets. Who is that giant of a man they encounter in the woods? Why won’t anyone talk about him? What is the hold the past seems to have over the town? Will they be able to break it before history tragically repeats itself? And will Grace be the place where love and forgiveness finally meet?

My Thoughts on Mistletoe Village
Postcard perfect. But is any town actually perfect? And, can a town that is not perfect still provide healing and maybe more?
When I pick up a book from an author I’ve never read before, I always feel like I’m getting to know a new friend. What is their voice? How do they express themselves? What’s their conversation style? But also I’m getting to know the characters in the book. And how much I like or dislike the characters is totally the fault of the author.
Well, I’ve made a new friend.
I loved this book. It was all Christmas and white and snow and love and murder? Anyway. Let’s back up. It’s July here and it’s super hot here. Think over 100 with high humidity. Escaping to a winter wonderland was high on my list, now if only it were real.
The characters were great and the suspense was perfect. It kept me reading and made me not want to look away from the pages. Definitely give it five stars and hope to see more like it.

More from Kathleen
I love Christmas stories, and since becoming an author, I’ve wanted to write one. Mistletoe Village started out as Mistletoe Hermit, but then it wasn’t going in quite the happy direction that I wanted. So Mistletoe Village was born.
I wrote this sweet, cozy, slightly suspenseful romance with all the elements that make Christmas … Christmas! But most importantly, it’s always about the faith element, Christ.
The main character Rence Paladin is dear to my heart. She was created with someone extraordinary in mind, and I had that person read the book to see what she thought. When she finished, she turned bright red and answered, even if you hadn’t told me … I knew it was me!
However, it’s not her story, but it encompasses her delightful personality, some of her sweet memories as a single mom, and how she strives to keep her focus on Christ while always serving others.
So let’s go.
Let me take you to Mistletoe Village.
You’ll find a little of everything that oozes Christmas in the tiny town of Grace. Holiday spirit, decorations, a children’s church pageant, and a Christmas festival. Oh, and I’ll introduce you to little Gus, the feisty family cock-a-poo. But most of all, I hope you, like Rence and Carl, rediscover the joy of Christmas at Mistletoe Village.
