REVIEW:
Rose Allen McCauley pens a sweet, heart-warming story that will help you catch the Christmas Spirit! I enjoyed reading about her main female character, Carol Peterson, who learns four months before Christmas she is one of four identical quadruplets. They are all schedule to meet on Christmas day! Carol’s been an only child and is excited as the aspect of meeting her siblings.
Carol’s adoptive parents have money so she’s grown up in privilege. Carol Peterson has always known she was adopted but she had no idea she was part of a big family that got split up. This meeting was an exciting and scary gift! How would her sisters feel about her? Would they all get along?
In the search for her family she runs into Nick Powers, a boy from her past. A boy she didn’t treat very nice and made fun of even! Would he remember her and the way she treated him that summer?
Oh, Nick remembers Carol alright, the rich brat who mistreated him that summer in front of all those kids. How could he forget? He’s become a Christian and is learning to forgive and forget. Turn the other cheek. Maybe she’s changed.
It surprised them both at how they felt when they saw each other again. What surprised them both was the fact they had so much in common and enjoyed each others company. Things were different alright! What were they going to do about this? Nick starts to view Carol as a woman he could spend his life with but he struggles with feeling worthy of her love. Carol thinks Nick is her soul mate and just adores his large family after having dinner at his Aunt and Uncles house. What would her parents think?
I live in Georgia so this book was extra enjoyable for me to read because of all the places that Rose talks about in her books. I was filled with delight as I read about Nick and Carol join forces and creativity as they adopt a family for Christmas. They will celebrate with them the 12 days of Christmas. They are very creative about what they give this family and how they give them these gifts every day!
Each story in this compilation is about one of the four quads and how they react to the news that they have identical siblings and will be meeting them at Christmas. It’s definitely a time to rejoice! Do you want to read a story that will make your heart glow, and bring a smile to your face? I suggest this story and the 3 other ones in the four in one collection, titled Christmas Belles of Georgia.
