Colors of Christmas by Olivia Newport

Colors of Christmas: Two Contemporary Stories Celebrate the Hope of Christmas by [Newport, Olivia]
How wonderful to read these two stories that deal with feelings of loss, at a season when everyone else seems to be celebrating. 
I could relate to both of these stories, having lost children, husband, friends. 
It made me smile to see how each person navigated the landscape of joy in their sorrow and found their way back to Joy.
Two unique Christmas stories well worth the reading!

Gladden The Heart by Olivia Newport

Gladden the Heart (Amish Turns of Time Book 5) by [Newport, Olivia]
What a wonderful story! The mix of Amish, Methodist, Tent Revival and all searching for the right way, the right place. 
I especially loved that the character, Noah, who preached without knowing, was based on historical cases. Susanna and Adam, Amish and thinking of marriage, are drawn in different directions by Noah's preaching. Patsy, daughter of the Methodist Minister , feisty, opinionated and not afraid to speak her mind.  Veronica, Susanna's Mother, afraid her daughter would be lost to the world outside the Amish. A lovely story about listening for, and hearing God's word.

Ashes by Steven Manchester


Tom and Jason, brothers who grew up rough, pitted against each other by a father who was harsh, cruel and unforgiving.
Now Adults, they do just fine apart, thank you very much!
Then their father dies and when his will is read, they get a shock. They have to travel cross country, to scatter his ashes then return to find out the contents of an envelope.
Two very different men, each scarred in his own way, drive each other crazy as they make their way toward the West Coast. Memories surface, opening old wounds. 
Slowly, they begin to see that they maybe could find a way to connect as adults, in spite of their dad. The end of their quest brings more bitterness. But their new found brotherhood may just survive one more dig from good old dad.
At times hard to read, both mans pain raw and festering, it gives a look into a eventual triumph over a dysfunctional start.
