Where Treetops Glisten (WWII, multiple authors)

Three Stories of Love, Hope, and Christmas During WWII

Siblings forge new paths and find love in three stories filled with the wonder of Christmas. Turn back the clock to a different time, listen to Bing Crosby sing of sleigh bells in the snow, as the realities of America's involvement in the Second World War change the lives of the Turner family in Lafayette, Indiana.

In Cara Putman's White Christmas, Abigail Turner is holding down the Home Front as a college student and a part-time employee at a one-of-a-kind candy shop. The loss of a beau to the war has left Abigail skittish about romantic entanglements — until a hard-working young man with a serious problem needs her help.

In Sarah Sundin's I'll Be Home for Christmas, Abigail's brother Pete — a fighter pilot hero returned from the European Theater — is trying to recapture the hope and peace his time at war has eroded. But when he encounters a precocious little girl in need of his friendship, can he convince her widowed mother that he is no longer the bully she once knew?

In Tricia Goyer's Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, Meredith Turner — “Merry” to those who know her best — is using her skills as a combat nurse on the frontline in the Netherlands. Halfway around the world from home, Merry never expects to face her deepest betrayal head on, but that is precisely what God has in mind to redeem her broken heart.

The Turner family believes in God's providence during such a tumultuous time. Can they absorb the miracle of Christ's birth and His plan for a future?
