The Christmas Heirloom by Karen Witemeyer, Kristi Ann Hunter, Sarah Loudin Thomas and Becky Wade

The Christmas Heirloom is a collection of four novellas by four different authors but yet all the stories have several things in common. All the women are related to one another and are all connected to an heirloom broach which has been passed from one generation to the next. The original owner of the broach was Lady Densby and although she did not have a daughter to pass to broach onto she passed it to her grandson who fell in love with Sarah his grandmother's companion. After Sarah it was handed down from daughter to daughter. I love genealogy so I loved this aspect of handing down a legacy. 

All the stories were well written but I did not enjoy the third one A Shot at Love as much as I did the others. Fleeta was too much of a tomboy and I don't think she valued the broach as much as the other women did. She really didn't care about the history of the broach. She only liked it because it had belonged to her mother. And she cared more about guns than finding the love of her life. 

I received this book from Bethany House through the review program at Netgalley. This book is due to be released on October 2, 2018.
