This is a sweet romance book, of three interwoven stories by three different authors. I love continuity when I am reading books in a series or in one volume with different stories by different authors and this fits the bill nicely. It also takes place during WWII, which is an era I am fascinated with, so that was a HUGE plus. It's also Christian, so I enjoyed that as well. No more than a few kisses here and there and God wasn't just the odd cameo, He was an MC, but not shoved down the reader's throat, which is always a delicate balance and I think they did it quite nicely.

I wasn't wowed by the characters in the first story and I DNF'd the second, as I don't find misbehaving children who cause their single mother grief to be all that entertaining. I also wasn't buying the fact that Peter was such a horrible little child when he was younger either.

My favorite store was that last one, Merry's. It didn't take place in America, it had a lot of sadness, but also joy. It felt like it had the biggest Christmas miracle of all and it didn't feel forced. I also really liked all of the characters in it.

So, all in all, 3 solid stars for this book. It was a good book for me to start my Advent reading with.

My thanks to NetGalley and WaterBrook Multnomah Publishers for an eARC copy of this book to read and review.

How did I manage to put off reading this gem for so long? These three stories are beautiful examples of the short story form and how to create a brief story with vibrant and sympathetic characters. I couldn’t possibly pick a favorite of the three because each was unique and heartwarming. I’ll definitely be rereading these.

Thanks to NetGalley for a free reading copy. However, my review is based on the final paperback edition.

A set of 3 novellas dealing with World War 2 and it's impact on one family in the midwest. Each story focuses on one of the three young adults in the family and how the war has impacted their lives, their lifestyle, community, and future outlook on life.
I loved the book and its historical fiction theme centered on WWII. I learned a great deal about the wars effects in the states and what people had to do without and how it changed lives. The third novella took us to the battlegrounds and the horrors of war. Not only was this a great romantic novel, it also was a history lesson.

Where Treetops Glisten by Tricia Goyer, Cara Putman, and Sara Sundin is a wonderful collection of Christmas stories full of finding love and hope. This collection stands out from others in that it was written by three different authors yet still feels like a cohesive whole. It is obvious that the authors collaborated well on this project. The stories of the three siblings flow well into each other. I think this collection would appeal to readers of many ages and interests. I highly recommend it! I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.

I am in love with this book...going to have to purchase a few for Christmas gifts. I like how they are separate short stories, perfect for one evening of reading each, but they're all connected...with each main character being a different family member. The book brings to life the beautiful, yet tumultuous, era of the 1940s, highlighting both the simplicity and uneasiness of the times. My favorite story was the second, but looking back at the authors, that's no huge surprise, as Sarah Sundin is one of my favorite authors and I prefer her style. This is not to say that the other stories aren't good - they are equally as good as the others - I just preferred this one best. And thank heavens for the epilogue, which ties all of the stories up neatly and gives us some closure!! At the very end, tempt yourself with some yummy WWII-era treats, too!

Loved it! Each of the novellas had an unique way of dealing with their faith during the difficult time of war. I liked the way each story seamlessly blended together. The Turner family was such an enjoyable family with a strong faith in God. Highly recommended!
