Review of Cynthia Ruchti’s ‘An Endless Christmas’ and Holiday Cheer Giveaway!

About the book:
An Endless Christmas
(Worthy Inspired, October 2015)

Too many people, too much snow, and too little room should be a recipe for disaster.

Christmas takes a very different turn when the guests of honor break up instead of announcing their engagement. Trapped with his family, they learn that love looks different than either imagined. Both in their eighties, Dodie and Wilson Binder celebrate every Christmas as if it were their last. This year, their grandson Micah is planning to ask his girlfriend, Katie, to marry him so they can celebrate with the whole family. But things go very wrong when she says, "no." Now they are stuck. Too many people, too much snow, and too little room should be a recipe for disaster. But sometimes too much is just enough. Especially when it's Christmas.

My review:
This was such a wonderful Christmas story!  I absolutely loved it!  It was well-written with a wonderful mix of romance, the true meaning of the season and a huge family you just wanted to be a part of.  The plot was great and can you imagine a more awkward way to meet the family, after you've rejected one of them in front of everyone?!  There were sweet moments of romance, which were especially touching with the elderly grandparents.  There were some pretty humorous moments, too.  I absolutely loved the whole family.  There's a bit of mystery as we're not told right away why Katie tells Micah no and some of the baggage she's dealing with.  The whole family and Katie have a strong faith in God, yet Katie struggles with letting go of her past and feeling inadequate.  Her journey was beautiful to see, with a great mix of action and reflection throughout the story.  This is probably the best Christmas story I've ever read!  I highly recommend it!

I received this book free from Litfuse Publicity in exchange for an honest review.

There's no getting out of Christmas now, despite Katie rejecting Micah's marriage proposal. Cozy up this holiday season with Cynthia Ruchti's new novella, An Endless Christmas.
