Love this whole series ~ rather like the Mitford books only set near Boston.

Maybe Alice had some good news for her...
That would be a miracle. But it was funny; living in this town, miracles didn’t seem as impossible as they once did.


James has a life far away that he’s anxious to get back to. Leigh has a recent past she’s desperate to get away from. And Sam and

Jessica are hoping for a future they’ve begun to fear they may never have. But this Christmas in the small town of Cape Light, they’re all in for gifts that will come in unexpected packages in A Christmas Promise, a novel by authors Thomas Kinkade and Katherine Spencer.

It’s been more than a decade since I read the first four Cape Light novels, an all-time favorite series of mine, and maybe five years since I read one of the later Christmas novels. I was curious to see how it would feel to read this one after such a long break from the series.

Although this book will naturally have that much more meaning if you’re already familiar with the people of Cape Light, it’s still a full enough story in itself to read as a standalone. It’s got its share of Christmas corny, and a character’s change of heart that feels too thorough, too suddenly. But overall, it’s an easily-paced tale of heartache and hope, a touch of suspense, gentle romance, and blessings in disguise.

Quintessential holiday warmth for fans of feel-good reads, right here.
