My Review:

Rediscovering Christmas is my first introduction to Mindy Obenhaus' writing. While this book is the sixth in the series, it easily stands alone.

Tori has had to deal with quite a bit of loss, but the loss of her house sends her spiraling over the edge. She is mad at God and the world. It's a lot for one person to handle, but thankfully she has a Micah in her corner.

Micah is Tori's best friend and has been since they were young. He has also been in love with Tori for about as long. He suppressed his feelings to not lose her friendship, and then she married his brother. Now that she is a widow, Micah is still suppressing his feelings, while being the best friend that Tori needs him to be.

This story is perfect for the Christmas season. Tori's struggles are relatable, yet the story portrays that no matter how mad we get at God, and how broken we feel, there is hope for healing and beauty from the ashes. God wasn't finished with Tori and He is not finished with us either. No matter how hard the seasons get, God has a plan for us. It's not on our timetable, but His. Just as Tori rediscovered her Christmas spirit, and the true meaning of Christmas, I have hope that we can also rediscover the wonder of Christmas this year.

Thank you to the author and JustRead Publicity for the opportunity to read this book. I was not required to provide a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.
