4.0 out of 5 stars Three short stories - different -but worth reading!, July 16 2002

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Prairie Christmas (Paperback)

In the first story Catherine Palmer returns to the town called Hope and picks up the lives of the familiar characters. A surprising twist makes this one especially good. The second story is by a relatively new author to me, but now I will read more of hers since this one is great...The last is an entirely new concept to me, that of the courtship of a senior couple. Most Christian romance stories steer away from those folks in their sunset years, but this one is sweet and believable. I would recommend this book. Each author gives the reader a glance into her own life and some interesting recipes are included as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must read., Feb 25 2001

This review is from: Prairie Christmas (Paperback)

Catherine Palmer has again written a fabulous book. In this anthology she revisits a town called Hope and tells the story of Rolf Rustemeyer. I have read all of the books in the 'A town called Hope' series and this story lets me revisit my favourite series. Readers can also watch the lovable German farmer Ralf find his true love of the Kansas praire.

Included in this anthology are stories by Elizabeth White and Peggy Stoks. Both of these women are fabulous authors and their love for the Lord is evident in their stories. Annie and Betsy make wonderful heroines and I fell in love with them as well as their men, Seneca Jones and Elmore Determan.

This book is a must read for all Catherine Palmer fans and everyone who loved the 'A town called Hope' series.

4.0 out of 5 stars good, but not long enough!, May 14 2011

By sara hardesty - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Prairie Christmas (Paperback)

i loved all of the novellas in this book, but as is the case with a lot of books using this format, they ended too soon! 'The Christmas Bride' is my favorite of the three-i found the characters & plotline fairly well developed considering the story's length-& i think many of us can relate to the main character's struggle to overcome her past & embrace the blessings God has for her! i loved rolf's unabashed genuine sweetness toward & care for lucy! (i would love to read a follow-up story for this one & the next as well!) 'Reforming Seneca Jones' is a fun piece-a classic storyline of the 'bad boy' riling up the 'good girl', falling & changing for her, & her resistance to his affection-the tension that ensues, etc.---a sweet piece that definitely could have been a bit longer & a bit more developed-the ending came too soon & a little quickly for me. (i think a good story is like a good meal--it should leave you satisfied & nourished at once, & should not leave you wanting, unless of course, more will be provided!) i definitely wanted more of this!....as for the third story, i admit that the age of the characters threw me for a loop-it was a very long time before i finally got around to reading it-i think i was looking for something i hadn't read yet on my shelf & this story fit the bill! it was surprisingly fairly good! it is easy to forget that though people's bodies get older, they can still experience the emotions & excitement of falling in love just like their younger counterparts! once you get past the age factor, & stop being 'tripped up' by it, appreciating it & the way it impacts the storyline is the next step! i appreciate that all of these novellas show their characters' relationships with God in ways that, for the most part, are realistic & not cheesy! very low 'cheddar' factor here!
overall, this is a very enjoyable collection of stories & definitely worth a read!
