Christmas Book Reviews

Kate's Choice

By Louisa May Alcott

{Review By Bethany}

Description: "In this 150 year old Christmas classic by the beloved author of Little women, English Kate is faced with a life-changing choice. Orphaned at 15, she tries hard to fulfill her father's dying wish: deciding which of her four American uncles' families she will live with. But how can she make such a decision?"

I really enjoyed this long-loved, heart felt story about Kate, who has a choice to make as to were she will live after her parents die and leave her an orphan. It was a sweet story about the tight bond between a grandmother and her grand-daughter. It was very refreshing and a relativity quick read {It took me one sitting to read it}. This is a wonderful fire-side reader! Note: This edition has two other Christmas stories, those of which I did not read...I am only reviewing the first story, Kate's Choice.} I give it 5 out of 5 stars!

I have recently began to read Wanda's books and have really enjoyed this sweet Christmas story! It was a great love story, without too much romance. Although their was a bit of romance {The main character is engaged, however there was no kissing scenes, which I appreciated}. It was very suspenseful and had the most wonderful ending and I really enjoyed reading it! If you enjoy Amish fiction and are looking for a good Christmas novel then I would definitively encourage you to read this book! I give it 5 out of 5 stars.
