A Christmas Storm by D. V. Stone

 About A Christmas Storm: This sweet holiday story focuses on our military men and women and those who stand by the home front through good times—and not so good; strong family values, and the unexpected opportunity for second chances.

Our Review: No matter how long ago it might have happened, everyone who has ‘served’ time in the military—either on active duty or standing by the home fires—will get this story. Hint: keep an extra large box of tissues handy. .

It’s three days before Christmas and all Lacey Prescott can think about is the first holiday she’ll share with her serviceman husband—until the fates intervene and cancel his leave. We remember those days and admire the ease with which author D.V. Stone infuses frustration, joy, sadness, as well as the urge to give in to the crying jag of the century. This delightful story shows with effortless style and manner the need for family support, devotion to duty and family—with a few Christmas miracles thrown in for special flavor.

Based on a scale of 1-5, A Christmas Storm merits a 7.
