The Christmas Heirloom

Four Holiday Novellas of Love Through the Generations

By: Karen Witemeyer, Kristi Ann Hunter, Sarah Loudin Thomas, Becky Wade

Narrated by: Liz Pearce, Stephanie Cozart, Emily Pike Stewart, Pilar Witherspoon

In Kristi Ann Hunter's "Legacy of Love", Sarah Gooding never suspected returning a brooch to an elderly woman would lead to a job...and introduce her to the woman's grandson, a man far above her station.

In Karen Witemeyer's "Gift of the Heart", widow Ruth Albright uses the family brooch as collateral for a loan from the local banker. But the more she comes to know the man behind the stern businessman, the more she hopes for a second chance at love.

In Sarah Loudin Thomas' "A Shot at Love", Fleeta Brady's rough-and-tumble childhood means she prefers hunting to more feminine activities. She never expected her family's brooch might be how a fellow hunter turns her attention from competition to romance.

In Becky Wade's "Because of You", Maddie Winslow has spent years in love with a man whose heart was already spoken for. When a church Christmas project brings them together and she stumbles upon an old family brooch, might it finally be her turn for love?

Nice stories

Four Christmas romances in four time periods by four different authors, but keenly connected by one heirloom passed from generation to generation. Sweet Holiday reads.

Sweet, Christian-based novellas

I liked everything about these novellas- the writing style, the narrators, the characters, the plots, etc. Very sweet and innocent, yet romantic with a little angst in them to make them interesting.

Christmas Heirloom

Legacy of Love by Kristi Ann Hunter

What a beautiful story about an amazing woman!  This aging grandmother had a gift of love and living a life well that made her an eccentric in her circle, but what a legacy she left for her steadfast aide and her favorite grandson!  The narration was superb and was the perfect screeching mother and aristocratic men along with the gentle grandmother and the passionate companion!


Gift of the Heart by Karen Witemeyer

What an endearing story!  So many moments of touching wisdom mixed with heart stopping sentimental possibilities of deep passionate forever love!  A truly touching love story!  A delightful narration!

I loved the Southern drawl of the mother and the adorable voice of the joyful child!

A Shot at Love by Sarah Loudin Thomas

What an amazing story!  I loved the Christmas sermon and how Fleeta finally understood her worth in the eyes of God!  He loved her regardless of how unfeminine she was or how abandoned she felt as an orphan!  But God isn't the only one who sees her worth and wants to treasure her!  Great narration!  I think Fleetwood was portrayed perfectly!

Because of You by Becky Wade

I don't read (or listen) to a lot of contemporary romances, but I did enjoy this story!  The fight over the guilt was powerful, but her resolution was great!  I enjoyed the narration very much.  The sweet children were my favorite voices!

A delightful read

Love the 4 short stories that had an heirloom that connected all the generations. Great narrators. Recommendable to anyone.
Nothing to dislike about any story, but I did love the casual humor of the first one.

Connected Generations

Four stories with one brooch connecting them. Enjoyable listening across time with sweet love stories. Always enjoy novels sharing historical fiction across time.

Pin of love

Great book!Never read one quiet like
It so seamless but each book with a different
author. True love in each marriage or match with the heart passed down to each generation

Excellent mini stories

Each story ties together and has a wonderful story line as time changes with each author.

Great collection

I love these authors and enjoyed having them in a collection together. Something here for readers of all eras: historical and contemporary, woven together with a common theme.

Each story has a different narrator, but all do a good job.

The theme was great

I loved how four different authors told these stories. It gave each story its own flavor but they were all linked in purpose. It’s clean and lovely

Great Christmas Themed Compilation

I really enjoyed this grouping of Novelas that followed the theme of a precious heirloom as well as the people who owned it and the loves of their lives. My favorites were the first, third and fourth one in the series, perhaps because I enjoy the setting and time periods of them more. I also thoroughly enjoyed the audible version of it.
