The Caroles of Christmas
By Courtney Ranger
This was a lovely read. It kept me reading late into the night because I had to know what happened as schoolteacher Lydia Miller and town doctor Andrew Williams join forces to care for the town's residents who become ill during an influenza outbreak.
In the beginning Lydia has some misgivings about Doctor Williams when he can't save everyone under his care. She is more than a little vocal in her doubts. But when she actually sees him working, Lydia realizes she may have misjudged him.
And when Lydia questions why this had to happen at Christmas, an elderly patient makes her rethink her understanding of Christmas and its true meaning. This results in some good old fashioned soul searching, especially after Doctor Williams say he is more concerned with a patient's soul health than their bodily health when he is at their side and knows their earthly is near.
I was provided a complimentary copy with no expectations. All thoughts expressed are my own.
About the Book:
Lydia Miller loves teaching her students and living with her sister and adorable nephew, but her life gets turned upside down when an influenza epidemic hits her hometown right before Christmas. When a man she’s sworn to hate forever, Doctor Andrew Williams, knocks on her door asking for her assistance in providing medical aid to her community, she turns him down flat. However, as the epidemic comes to affect more people she cares about, she finds it hard to ignore the needs in her community and finds herself forced to spend too much time in the doctor’s presence.
As the epidemic rages and broken hearts seek healing, can God reveal that He truly holds all in His tender care?
