Home to Chestnut Grove by Christy Barritt – Review

October 29, 2019 by Suzie Waltner 1 Comment

About the Book

A heartwarming, small-town Christmas story about restoring broken hearts and remembering those you love.

When Faith Winters returns to Chestnut Grove, Virginia, for the community’s annual Christmas celebration, she’s desperate to get in and out as quickly as possible. She’s failed at making it on Broadway and is certain her hometown will never accept her again after her sudden departure eight years ago. Despite that, she’s vowed to honor a promise and face the heartache she left behind.

Jake Whitmire is the sheriff in Chestnut Grove, but keeping the area free of crime is the least of his worries. Most days are filled with trying to keep the community’s spirits up as businesses have closed and jobs disappeared. He never expected to see the woman who broke his heart return home to lead up the town’s Christmas concert, nor is he sure he can ever forgive her.

As someone in town begins sabotaging the community’s celebration, Faith and Jake work together to find the person responsible and ensure their friend Aimee’s last request is fulfilled. Can holiday hope heal the broken spirit afflicting Chestnut Grove residents? Or is it time for everyone—including Faith and Jake—to treasure the memories of the past but to move on?

In My Opinion

This book is a bit of a departure from the romantic suspense/cozy mysteries Christy Barritt’s best known for, but it’s not less wonderful.
 
While there is a small (fairly predictable) mystery thread in Home to Chestnut Grove, the story is more about the people. This is a story about forgiving past hurts, celebrating the important people in life, and discovering where you belong.
 
If you’re looking for a quick, feel-good, small-town Christmas story with its own grinch and plenty of Christmas spirit, you can’t go wrong with this one.
