About the Book
Former musician, Melody Staff, spends Christmas at a bed and
breakfast in the village of Mistletoe Meadows. While everyone sings familiar
carols of Christ drawing near, Melody stumbles over misplaced notes. Her recent
diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis has scared off her fiancé and thrust her life
into a grand pause. She's not sure her heart will ever sing again.
Quentin Oxford has endured a devastating year. His preteen
daughter suffered a stroke, and they've grieved his wife's sudden death, but
the Lord coaxes a surprising refrain from Quentin's heart as God rewrites his
and Melody's score into a holiday love song that will last for Christmases to
come.
My Review
Weeks’s addition to the extravaganza holiday stories is
filled with angst, mysterious health conditions, and determination to keep
traditions.
When the Staff family gathers for Christmas as the inn of
friends instead of Grandma’s house, the old family friend innkeeper, Quentin,
catches a glimpse of the life that might have been. But there’s something wrong
which keeps him hypervigilant against any chance of hurting his young daughter.
And Janie absolutely should not fall in daughter-love with the woman from his
past who apparently is no better than Janie’s now-deceased former druggie mom.
Melody is bitter toward everyone, especially God, for
ripping her life—her gift of music and her fiancé—from under her feet. With a devastating
diagnosis changing everything, she’s made decisions which she believes will
keep the only thing left she has to guard—her heart—intact.
Christmas is a growing and revelatory season for Melody and
Quentin as they celebrate the season of hope and promise.
