Christmas at Silver Falls by Jenny Hale
5.0
Christmas at Silver Falls is such a feel good Christmas story. It is one story that shouldn’t be missed during the holiday season.
Scarlett Bailey is returning to her hometown and to the White Oaks Inn where her family gathers every year for Christmas. It is tradition that all the Baileys gather at their grandmother’s house and inn to share love and memories. But this year may be the family’s last gathering as guests and revenues have been on the decline for several months.
Faced with the probable sale of White Oaks Inn, Scarlett is adamant that with her marketing skills, she’ll be able to find a suitable buyer or investor that will retain the historical aspects of the inn and the role it played in several events in history.
Scarlett is handed a business card that was left with her father’s good friend, Cappy. Charles Bryant’s name boldly appears on the card and Scarlett seemed somewhat familiar with that name. It’s just that she couldn’t immediately recognize the name from her recent memory.
As it turns out, Charles (Charlie) Bryant was a childhood acquaintance. A very nice and polite boy from Scarlett’s recollection. But when she meets him, he is nothing like what she remembers. Instead, Charlie is a surly and disgruntled man. A “Scrooge” of sorts.
As Scarlett navigates how to persuade Charlie to invest in the White Oaks Inn, she can’t help but develop a fondness for Charlie. Underneath that gruff exterior, Scarlett knows in her heart that Charlie is a caring and sensitive man. If only Scarlett can draw the real Charlie out of his shell.
Christmas at Silver Falls is a touching holiday story with a wide cast of down to earth characters that will capture your heart. The characters aren’t complex and they are like your friendly neighborhood “Walton” family. They just have a feel good aura about them.
Since Christmas at Silver Falls is the first novel that I’ve read from author, Jenny Hale, I wasn’t expecting too much out of the plot. But Hale has a real talent for storytelling. Hale has deftly crafted a feel good novel about family, the Christmas spirit, and love. Five heartwarming stars.
I received a paperback copy of the book from Forever (GCP.) The review herein is completely my own and contains my honest thoughts and opinions.
