A Christmas by the Sea
by Melody Carlson
I love Christmas books and in particular I love Christmas books by Melody Carlson. Every year I look forward to her release, so it's no wonder I loved this book. I read A Christmas by the Sea in one day and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it.
Ms. Carlson did a wonderful job with the setting. To begin with it made me want to visit Maine and by the time the book was finished I felt like I lived in the little cottage by the sea. The heroine is definitely one a modern woman can identify with. She's taken care of herself and her son since her husband's death. Wendy, the heroine, even worries about things like health insurance and it doesn't take away from the romance or the book. In fact, it adds realism to the story. Her son, Jackson, is tech savvy - such a realistic thing for a teenager to be in today's world. I loved how he constantly looked up "how to" on YouTube. The hero, Caleb, is irresistible - just what every woman longs to meet. He respects Wendy's talents and love for her son. A Christmas by the Sea is a delightful holiday read and one I would highly recommend to any Christian Book Fanatic.
A Christmas by the Sea by Melody Carlson is a 2018 release published by Revell. The book is available in hardback (167 pages), e-book, and audio.
