Book Description:
Every family has them -- those traditions that spawn memories and bind families together. Some started by chance. Some take effort to maintain. But all have a way of sneaking into those holiday festivities and taking a firm position within the family. In Everlasting Light, Alaina McKenna starts a Christmas candles tradition as she prays for her husband's return from the Civil War. Olivia Schuler delights in discovering the Mandalay family traditions, or Yuletide Treasures, even as she learns a lasting lesson about contentment. In Angels in the Snow, Lass Talbot struggles to carry on her deceased mother's Christmas traditions even though her bitter father has banned Christmas festivities from their home. Finally, Elizabeth Evans longs to recreate her husband's Christmas traditions in their new home, but she ends up creating a new tradition with her original Christmas Cake. The Christmas Threads of tradition unravel from the past to weave into the traditions of today. And, handled with love, they will become part of the tapestry of future generations.

Four romantic novellas about cherished family traditions.

Everlasting Light (Andrea Boeshaar):
Hope is dim in the aftermath of the Civil War. Alaina McKenna's Carolina home and family have been torn apart, and her husband, Braeden, is presumed dead. Another Christmas without him seems unbearable, and her heart has shriveled under the weight of her bitterness. But her husband's best friend is offering her a new start, and Alaina is sure she would be loved. Can she face the possibility that Braenden may never return to her...or is there still an ember of hope?

Yuletide Treasure (Gail Gaymer Martin):
Olivia Schuler has waited for her life to begin with marriage, and now, still single, she considers herself a spinster. She soon realizes her freedom is a blessing when she can help her brother and his sick wife by taking their son to Grand Rapids over the Christmas holiday. But her trip means leaving behind a potential suitor. Will Livy trust love to God's place and time?

Angels in the Snow (Colleen L. Reece):
Life dramatically changed for Lass Talbot when her mother died. Christmas became a dreaded time of frozen memories, and her father wrapped himself in a blanket of bitterness and booze. The only man Lass ever loved was driven from town seven years ago. What will it take to bring joy back to Lass's bleak existence among the Teton Mountains?

Christmas Cake (Janet Spaeth):
Elizabeth Evens wants her first Christmas with her husband to be perfect. She is used to a prairie Christmas, but her husband is from the East where traditions are established in wealth and finery. All Elizabeth has is a little egg money, so she sets out to recreate an Evans's family recipe. Do her Christmas dreams rely only on the outcome of a baking experiment?
