A Lowcountry Christmas by Mary Alice Monroe - Audio Version

A Lowcountry Christmas

by Mary Alice Monroe

Audio Version

 ☆☆☆☆☆

I enjoy reading holiday stories. But especially during

the holidays. I cant get enough of them. This year, I have

found I am getting the most from audio stories. I have one

or two kindle books I want to get to. But mostly, 

I like being read to! 

This was my first Mary Alice Monroe story. The cover was so 

calming and pretty. As it turned out, A Lowcountry Christmas

was a calm and pretty story. A family with struggles and love.

Happiness and memories. Respect and patience.

 The McClellan family find themselves as many of us do at

one time or another. The budget is low and Christmas is 

around the corner. They also are reminded that they live in

a community. A helpful and caring community.

 When an emergency comes up, everyone is reminded what

is important. What matters and what doesn't. 

It's a wonderful story to listen to. Mary Alice Monroe does 

the narration for her own book. I love it when

writers do that! She makes it sound just like she heard 

it in her head while writing it. 

I hope you're having a wonderful holiday. 

With lots of book time. 

Whether listening or reading.

Beach House for Rent by Mary Alice Monroe

Beach House for Rent

by Mary Alice Monroe

☆☆☆☆

 

The title gives away the location.

But the story is much more than a place.

The tale reminded me just how important

we all are to each other. We do tend to 

close ourselves off. From our neighbors.

But how important the whole ''village'' 

really is to all of us. We all need each other.

Heather has lived with the trauma of a

serious accident since she was very young.

She has overwhelming anxiety issues.

Cara experiences a drowning tragedy over

the summer.

 

The two of them are taken under the wings

of a group of beach people. Beach people

with great big hearts and willing to do

whatever it takes to be the best friends

they can be.

There is so much happiness and peace

coming from this story, the place and the people.

Beach House for Rent is the place everyone

wishes they could spend a summer. Or a life.
