COLORS OF CHRISTMAS by Olivia Newport is a lovely story of
love, second chances, and hope. This is not your typical
Christmas love story but instead signifies what it means to
be alone during the holiday season. A story where the
holidays are more about the memories of what has been lost
or who is no longer there than a true embrace of the holiday
season of joy and happiness.
For many Christmas can be a hard time of the year especially
when you have no one around to lean on. In this book, you
will follow along has two people in two very different
situations are just trying to make it through the holiday
and their life by making the best of what life has dealt
them. Not everyone sees Christmas has a happy time with
lovely decorations and beautiful lights. Newport creates
backstories that play well into the current story adding
more depth and drama. I feel that this helps you to
understand the overall story better since you only see a
small snapshot of two lives at two extremely different
stages of life.
COLORS OF CHRISTMAS really has something for everyone. While
it is not your traditional holiday read, it is a different
view of the season through the eyes of someone who struggles
to find their way and enjoy the season. I feel COLORS OF
CHRISTMAS is a book that many people can relate to or they
may know someone who is finding the season a hard one to
embrace. Overall, a good read for anyone who is looking for
a different kind of winter read.
Christmas in Blue
In the wake of a personal loss deeper than anyone
realizes, Angela plans to bypass as much of the season as
possible and get through her duties as the church
organist by going on autopilot. Instead, she finds
herself in charge of the town’s celebration. After a
mysterious young man arrives, townspeople suspect he is
the reason that one set of plans after another
disintegrate until little is left of their traditions.
Yet Angela warms to Gabe because she suspects they share
a secret—his real reason for coming to town. Even when
all they have to work with is a garish supply of blue
Christmas decorations, Gabe helps Angela discover the
hidden beauty of hope.
Christmas in Gold
After eighty years, change is nothing new for Astrid. By
the time she was twenty, she survived the destructive
Nazi regime, caring for her family under brutal
circumstances, moving to America, and losing her husband.
At forty she was widowed again and left to build a new
life with her children. Now, when she faces a move into
an assisted living community and meets a young woman on
the brink of despair, she resolves to stir up hope
through tragedy one more time.
