Author Bio
Saved by God's grace, Faith Potts is a teenage writer and homeschool graduate, living with her family and beloved yellow labs in the North Carolina mountains. When she's not weaving stories, consuming large amounts of coffee, reading stacks of books, or studying American Sign Language, she can be found laughing harder than is healthy, daydreaming and--of course--blowing dandelions.
Review
An adorable collection of Christmas short stories. I arranged this review by writing a little about each short-story. :)
Home by Christmas
A sweet story about two siblings in World War II. I really liked the way things were handled in this story, since Doug (one of the characters) was severely wounded.
Unexpected Blessing
Loved this story about three foster siblings- twin girls, and an older brother. The siblings' relationships were so special!
Christmas Homecoming
A heartwarming story about a war-torn family reunion. The part where Jamison puts Jamie, his little kid, in his coat was hilarious! ;) The family relationships were so fun!
What Matters
Enjoyable story about what really matters- loving others, the way Jesus loves them, and taking the time out of your day to show others His love.
Overall rating: Definitely 5/5 stars! ;)
I really enjoyed reading each and every one of these short stories, although my favorite is probably Unexpected Blessing. The writing was beautifully done and easy to follow. 5/5 stars! :)
