The Christmas Tree Farm by Melody Carlson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Blurb: 

When Madison McDowell returns from several years teaching overseas, she has high hopes of picking up where she left off at her family's Christmas tree farm in Oregon. But between damage from a recent wildfire and the neglect due to her sister Addie's unwillingness to invest, the farm is in sad shape. In fact, Addie is intent on selling the property. And to top it off, her former high school flame, the now-widowed Gavin Thompson, has plans to break Madison's heart again by turning his neighboring property into a dusty, noisy dirt bike track for his daughter. With the odds stacked against her, Madison decides there's only one thing to double down on her dreams. It will take a ton of hard work--and some help from an unlikely ally--to save the farm she so dearly loves. But it may take a miracle to restore her relationship with her sister. Bestselling and award-winning author Melody Carlson charms and delights with this uplifting Christmas story full of old memories and new beginnings.

My Review: 

The Christmas Tree Farm is a fun and quick novella. I was entertained with Madison’s story. It was a delight taking this journey to the quaint little town in Oregon. I like the second chances theme with the addition of faith that is not overly preachy. I thought it was cute.

I am giving The Christmas Tree Farm four stars. I believe readers and fans of clean holiday fiction will not want to miss out on it for this upcoming Christmas season. Since it is a novella, it would be easy to fit in for busy schedules. I would love to read more books like this one from Melody Carlson in the future.

I received a hard cover copy of Melody Carlson’s The Christmas Tree Farm from the publisher but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
