 My Review:

As I said in my review of the story Snow Angel, I loved this collection of stories. Each one of them are amazing by themselves, but by putting them all together in this way kept me reading from one to the next with ease. 

So for the first story: The Christmas Secret:

As you start this story you find Elizabeth Canning needing fresh air as she is preparing for her and David's wedding on Christmas Eve. Helen Warner, a close friend of Elizabeth was helping with the preparations. But Helen has her rathers than to clean. You will understand that when you read the book. 

Elizabeth is wanting to start her new life and family where her mother and father as well as her mothers family. But to do that she has to clean and prepare it. Helen is not to thrilled about this. David is one who is very family oriented. He helps his mother with his grandfather. Loves Elizabeth and can not wait till they are married.

In the process of cleaning the house Elizabeth starts dusting an old desk. She cleans all of it except one draw that is stuck. She pulls with all her might and it finally comes open.  comes up on an old battered-looking leather journal. Recognizes her mothers sisters hand writing. What has Elizabeth found? Well you will need to read the book to find out.

Very intriguing story. Loved reading every bit of it.
