My Review of A Christmas for Katie: A Christmas Families of Honor Novella

As I have said many times over I am a sucker for a good Christmas story. I adored A Christmas for Katie by Shelley Shepard Gray. Put me right in the mood for caroling and (gulp) snow! If you have read the Families of Honor series, then you know the precocious Katie Weaver. Katie is on a mission to fix the falling down nativity scene that stands outside the local library before Christmas arrives. She is faced with a few obstacles but if determination is the prize then Katie takes top billing! We get to visit with other members of the Weaver family and see what they have been up to. I always enjoy catching up with characters that I cared so much for from previous books. Shelley’s books, this title included, are always filled with likeable characters and storylines that are so engrossing you forget just for a minute that your life is filled with obligations and we should stop reading because dinner needs to be cooked! Every time I turn the last page of one Shelley’s books I am left happy and eager to dive into her next story…..that’s the mark of a great author…..they keep you coming back again and again!
