Where Treetops Glisten, by Tricia Goyer, Cara
Putman, and Sarah Sundin, is the perfect book for reading during the winter
season. Since the book is written by three separate authors, I wasn’t too sure
how well written and cohesive it would be, but I really felt like the sections
of the book fit perfectly together. Each author told the story of 1 of the 3
living Turner children during the winter season. The story took place during
WWII, which is one of my favorite time periods to read about in books.
In Cara Putman’s “White Christmas,” Abigail
Turner, who is attending college and
working at a candy store, is not looking for love. Her boyfriend was killed at
Pearl Harbor, and she has sworn off relationships until after the war. Like it
always seems to happen, she finds love when she least expects it. After meeting
a man on the bus, who she senses needs her father’s help, a relationship soon
follows.
Sarah Sundin’s “White Christmas” focuses on the
one boy in the family, Pete Turner. He is home from his combat tour, but he
continues to have feelings of remorse and sadness over his brother’s death many
years before. Soon, he forges a friendship with a young girl and her mother,
who knew him when he was little more than a bully. Again, there is romance
during this part of the story.
Lastly, Tricia Goyer’s “Have Yourself a Merry
Little Christmas” follows Meredith “Merry” Turner as she is in the Netherlands
serving as a nurse after having her heart broken by a boyfriend. When her past
catches up with her, she needs to decide if she will trust the man she loves and forgive him for the heartbreak he caused.
I really enjoyed this book and the way the
Turner family was so close to each other. They experienced their share of
grief, but they all still have a strong faith that was clearly displayed in the
pages of the book. I look forward to reading books by all three of these
authors in the future!
