Synopsis:

In this heartwarming, feel-good novel, a snowstorm brings a cast of very different characters together at a sleepy New England inn, just in time for Christmas—and maybe even in time for a Christmas miracle. 

A New England inn seems like the picture-perfect place to spend the holidays. But when a snowstorm shuts the roads and keeps them all inside, the guests find themselves worrying that this Christmas may not be exactly what they dreamed of. 

Molly just needs to keep her head down and finish her latest book, but her writer’s block is crippling. The arrival of Marcus, a handsome widower with two young girls, is exactly the distraction she doesn't need.

Hannah was hoping for a picturesque winter wedding, but her plans come crashing down when her fiancé calls everything off. She reconnects with her childhood friend, Luke, when he comes to check on his grandmother before the storm.

Jeanne and Tim don't know how they're going to keep the inn open another year—or how to bridge the distance between them in their marriage. With a flurry of unexpected guests, they'll have to work together to fix all the problems that crop up. But will it be enough to rekindle their relationship?

As the characters’ stories intertwine, they start to find hope where they thought it had been lost. With faith, and a little bit of Christmas magic, the inn—and its inhabitants—might just make it through the holidays after all.

This was such a sweet and inviting Christmas story. All of these characters are different, yet during the course of their stay at the inn during a major blizzard, they become interconnected. They are each facing their own set of problems, wishing for a miracle to help them through the holiday.

I was worried that with all of the different characters in this story, I wouldn't be able to keep track of everyone and it would keep me from truly enjoying it. However, I was glad to discover that wasn't the case. I liked getting to know everyone and my favorites quickly became Molly, a children’s book writer, Marcus (an architect) and his two little girls, Addison and Bailey. Those little girls practically stole the show.

The author did a great job of the describing the inn, the decorations, and the food that was prepared. Though the characters backstories aren’t deeply delved into, I felt like there was enough information to get a good sense of the character and what was going on in their life.  

The White Christmas Inn is a heart-warming story filled with love, hope, and the magic of Christmas. It felt like I was watching a Hallmark movie unfolding before my eyes while I read. If you are looking for a story that will put you in the mood for the holiday season, pick up The White Christmas Inn.




RATING: 3 out of 5.
