About:
Pour yourself a cuppa, get lost in the merriment of the season, and enjoy a Dickensian Christmas in three stories from fan favorite Michelle Griep:
12 Days a Bleakly Manor: Brought together under mysterious circumstances, Clara and Ben discover that what they’ve been striving for isn’t what ultimately matters. What matters most is what Christmas is all about . . . love.
A Tale of Two Hearts: Pleasure seeker William Barlow needs a wife immediately to gain his uncle’s inheritance, and Mina Scott is just the girl to make him look respectable—too bad she turns him down. Ought he give her a second chance?
The Old Lace Shop: Recently widowed Bella White is finally freed from the domination of the overbearing men in her life, but when she enters into a business partnership with the handsome Edmund Archer, she begins to wonder if marriage is worth a second chance.

My Thoughts:
Once Upon a Dickens Christmas: is a charming collection of three novellas set in the Victorian era with a beautiful cover.
All three stories are charming with delightful characters who all get a second chance. These stories have connections between them with the story of redemption, grace, forgiveness and mercy. I found myself getting lost in these stories of the North and South. Michelle does a great job engaging the reader into the story and making them feel as though they are part of a bigger adventure. The characters are interesting and I loved reading about their lives during this time period. All in all, this was my first book by Michelle and definitely not my last.
About the Author:
I hear voices. Loud. Incessant. And very real. Which basically gives me two options: choke back massive amounts of Prozac or write fiction. I chose the latter. Way cheaper. I've been writing since I discovered blank wall space and Crayolas. I seek to glorify God in all that I write...except for that graffiti phase I went through as a teenager. Oops. Did I say that out loud?
