Keeping the Traditions of Christmas a live in a Small-Town Named Hope

This book is a Christian Inspirational Romance, it is written in Novella format (f short stories, about 90 pages each). The collection of four relate to the same little town called "Hope" that because of an endangered owl, the town's logging business is closed, leaving the town worried that they soon will have nothing left in Hope and need to move elsewhere. A six year old boy gives them the idea that they can make their town into a tourist attraction during the Christmas season because they way they celebrate Christmas is "old-fashioned," "simple," and "homespun." The four stories each ahve a different couple as the main characters, these couples find things they have been looking for in Hope, in the "Homespun Christmas," and the town strives to work together to save it from being no more. I enjoy reading Christian Novellas, this one surprised me because I was expecting a historical novel and it was contemporary. The message was nice and I wish that I could live in a town that celebrated Christmas and was as united as Hope was. I give the book four stars because the plot focused so much on the town and townspeople you lost a little bit of the characters and I would have liked to see their development and personalities more.
