Would Amy ever see him as anything other than a former Loyalist who destroyed her home?

One more building, one more road, one more disaster reconstructed.

But George Elliot remains trapped in the past, reliving his role in the destruction of Charles Town. Through the support of his family and two Patriot generals, he is allowed to pursue a life among them but struggles to find purpose. Forgiveness lurks but has not quite settled his unsteady heart.

Amy Engle strives to help the men who are alive but hurting through her work at the hospital. Some men fail to grasp God’s forgiveness and struggle to heal mentally from the brutality of war…George Elliot is one of them. These men need a place to heal, and Amy proposes to open a mission to do just that with George at the helm.

Amy’s prayer is that this will give George purpose and confidence.

What she didn’t count on was her heart’s commitment to the man.

With the devastation of war that left nothing unscathed, the people of Charles Town could use a dose of Christmas miracles. If there are any that remain after the devastation of war.

Can they determine in their hearts to find comfort in love, promises, and forgiveness?

My Thoughts on Promise Me Christmas

Promise Me Christmas is a cute historical fiction novel that brings you love and romance plus a dose of history for the holidays.  Add in it’s just after the Revolutionary War.  It’s not a time period I spend a lot of time in.  However, this is one author I always enjoy her renditions of this time period.  They’re historically accurate and read quickly with amazing engaging characters. 

In this novel, we follow Amy and George.  George was a loyalist.  And in being one he had a hand in the destruction of a city.  Bonus bad points for the fact he destroyed Amy’s house.  He’s having a hard time forgiving himself and coming to terms with what he did.  

Amy wants to help soldiers like George.  In doing so can she help him overcome his guilt and maybe find a new lease on life?  And maybe some sparks can fly between the two of them in the process?  Such a fun novel and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

More from Marguerite

I have desired to revisit my beloved characters and charming Charles Town. The Lestarjette family and their potential adventures sprout to life in my imagination if not on paper. Marriages, jobs, children, new nation?

In Promise Me Christmas I get a glimpse into the colorful lives of familiar heroes and heroines, villains and enemies, and major and minor roles as after-war scenarios surface. As minor, supporting characters make their presence known, I realize in life there are no minor roles. Each human being has a purpose and a God-given mission.

Think about all the people who stand in the peripheries of your life. They are as important in the scheme of life as your close family and friends. In this novella, I hope to emphasize God’s promises and hopes through people who are flawed, hurting, healing, and making efforts to exist and prosper in a town devasted by war, death, and poverty.

We might not have gone through a war, siege, and occupation by enemy forces, but we can grasp the hopes and promises of Christmas through the lenses of sickness, death, broken relationships, financial woes, and natural disasters.

I hope you enjoy this Christmas novella from my heart of hope and promises to yours.
