Christmas Novella by Lynn Austin

 

Waiting for Christmas by Lynn Austin

This novella takes up where Ms. Austin’s last book, All My Secrets, published in 2024, left off.  I really enjoyed learning how Addy and Howard were adjusting to married life.  Their little family expands to welcome some orphans in need of temporary home.  Addy and Howard do their best to help them find their missing father, who may be working as a sailor.  As they prepare for the holiday and work to find Jack and Polly’s missing parent, both Addy and Howard learn important lessons about love and trusting God.

The characters are lovable and determined.  I admired Addy’s tenacity and determination to be a good wife.  Howard is creative and loves Addy well.  Each character grows and develops in a realistic way.

The plot is neatly tied up at the end of the book with some interesting possibilities for the characters’ futures and a couple of surprises the reader will enjoy.  I am grateful to the publisher for this book in exchange for this, my honest review.
