BOOK DESCRIPTION

During a snowstorm, Betty Tanner finds herself stuck with her estranged husband. Spending Christmas with Glenn wasn’t what she had in mind, and her thoughts reluctantly travel back three decades to their first Christmas together, when another snowstorm caused her to wreck her car outside the Tanner home …

1954: Stranded with the Tanners over Christmas, Betty is forced into the company of Glenn, who has spurned her for years. But as the snow falls outside, the walls between Betty and Glenn begin to melt, revealing a side of him she never knew existed. A side she longs to know better.

Pride and bitterness can make a beast out of anyone. And the hardships they face in their relationship are of their own making. But can following Christ’s ways lead Betty and Glenn to the reconciliation they long for?

A.M. Heath invites you to spend Christmas with the Tanners in a dual-timeline novel loosely inspired by Beauty and the Beast. You’re sure to fall in love again and again.




My Review


5 Star Rating


This unique holiday tale plays out in two different decades, at different stages in Betty and Glenn's relationship. We get to see Christmas 1954, when the two are forced to get to know each other better due to a snowstorm. Then we also fast forward to the year 1985, where the married couple is separated due to communication issues, but yet again forced to get to know each other at this later stage in life.

The angst and friction between Betty and Glenn when they first meet up in this story made me smile and chuckle.

"Did you just growl at me?"

I really enjoyed all the references and quotes from the original Beauty and the Beast tale. Also, I liked being able to watch Betty ask for God's will, waiting for His words and strength to come to her.

Recommended for: Adults

Suitable for: 13 and up
