    This review was written for Christmas Comes to Little Hickman Creek.
    I thoroughly enjoyed Sadie Bennetts character. I know that many readers will be able to relate to Sadies situation. I know I can. A death of a loved one is hard. Moving on is even harder.

    Will Sadie be able to find joy in her life again? Will her happiness for Christmas ever return?

    This author brought out legitimate fears that Sadie had. We know that with God anything is possible.

    Will Sadie open her heart to allow God to rule in her life again? Will she be able to step out in faith and live again?

    I think readers will find this story to be delightful and very touching. I always say that a book isnt a good read if it doesnt touch me or bring me to tears. This book did just that.

    This is the first book I have read by this author. I am looking forward to reading more of her books.

    This review was written for Christmas Comes to Little Hickman Creek.
    Christmas Comes to Little Hickman Creek by Sharlene MacLaren is one of the best written and sweetest novellas that I have had the privilege of reading. The book may be only 133 pages, but the characters and storyline are well developed. This novella is perfect to read not only during the Christmas season but any time of the year that you want a quick, sweet, love story read. Loved it! Sadie Bennett is a young widow of two years whose husband was killed shortly after they married in a work related accident during the Christmas season. With Christmas drawing near, her thoughts turn toward her husband and their love for each other. Although she works as a waitress, she finds little happiness in being with others besides her family. The people in her church in this small community in Kentucky love Sadie and are determined to help her live in joy again. Also, the handsome Reed Harris, who owns the local livery, is quickly falling in love with her. Does Sadie have to completely forget her husband to find love and live in joy again? What does God want for her life? This story was a little personal for me. My husband was a widower for almost two years when we met, fell in love, and married. We dont have to forget the happiness of the past to have love and joy in the future! I received a copy from the author and publisher of The Book Club Network in exchange for an honest review.

    This review was written for Christmas Comes to Little Hickman Creek.
    This is the first book I have read by Sharlene MacLaren but will not be my last. She is a very talented writer. This novella was an inspiring and heartwarming Christmas story.

    The setting is December 1898 in Little Hickman Kentucky.

    What is usually a merry and happy time for most people Christmas was only a sad reminder for Sadie Bennett who lost her husband two years ago. She wants nothing to do with celebrating Christmas, but finds that she has been assigned to a committee to search for the town Christmas tree.

    Reed Harris a newcomer to the town of Hickman is also on the committee. Reed is looking for a future wife and settle down. Sadie is still mourning the loss of her husband and a relationship is not in her future. Will Sadie be able to find joy and faith again. To open her heart for another relationship and once again love Christmas.

    A very touching and wonderful Christmas story.

    I read this novella in one sitting and highly recommend it.

    I received a copy of this book from bookfun.org for my honest opinion and review.

    This review was written for Christmas Comes to Little Hickman Creek.
    Christmas Comes to Little Hickman Creek is a tender seasonal novella that brings readers back to 1890s Little Hickman, Kentucky where they will revisit old friends and meet new ones. Sharlene MacLaren, author of Little Hickman Creek Series, introduces Sadie, barely married and suddenly a widow and Reed, the new owner of the town's livery. Readers will enjoy this charming story of a community of friends and family during what should be a season of joy and happiness. With the anniversary of the death of Sadie's husband nearing, her grief is still acute and she is fearful of new relationships. Reed is interested, in fact, smitten might be a better word! But can he compete with a dead husband? Faith in God is evident throughout. I loved the way some of the characters hear God speak to them words of encouragement and guidance and were aware of the need for wise counsel from His Word and Godly friends. Engaging characters, delightful tales of family and farm life, and a sweet romance will touch the heart and have readers coming back for more from this author.

    This review was written for Christmas Comes to Little Hickman Creek.
    I am a person who likes a good Christmas novel. And while Sharlene MacLaren is a favorite author of mine, I believe this is her first Christmas story. Rather small compared to her normal books, I thoroughly enjoyed it, plus I got to visit Hickman Creek again. The story is a touching one and really brings to light how hard Christmas time is for some people. Those who have lost loved ones, especially a spouse as Sadie Bennett has. There is a thread throughout though of healing. If I had to use one word for this book, it would definitely be healing. Only problem? The length of the story leaves you really wanting more. A super read for the holiday season!

    I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are 100% mine.
