About the Book
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 REVIEW
5 star rating
Three families, all trying to recover from past hurts. Rence, recovering from a nasty divorce moves with her young daughter to Grace, Oregon. Her sister, Sandy and her young son, Josiah accompany her.
A strange town, starting over, and a new job gives Rence a whole new set of challenges. When she crosses paths with, Carl and his mother, Greta, things become more complicated.
I enjoyed following the families and seeing how God begins to change their lives. The storyline is inspirational, and uplifting filled with hope and lots of faith. I hated for it to end.
One of the best Christmas stories I've read in a long time. All the characters are well-developed and will make their way into your heart. Highly recommended.
I received a complimentary copy from the author and voluntarily choose to review 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 of 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.
