Christmas in Goodwater Ranch is a spirit-filled time, both literally and figuratively.
On earth
Three women, intertwined by fate and now the best of friends, contemplate their futures.
-Bea, the golden retriever of the group who has faith that can move mountains, is hopelessly in love and finally getting married.
-Simone, the practical entrepreneur of the three, is suffering from post-partum depression, regular depression, or both.
-Ophelia, the newly elected mayor of Goodwater Ranch, is engaged to the man of her dreams after he swooped in and rescued her from a harrowing, life-threatening ordeal.
As it is in Heaven
Walter Callahan is dead. Correction: Not dead. ‘Ethereally elevated.’ The last time he saw his grandson, Elijah, was a senior in high school. Now, Elijah’s getting married tomorrow? And Walter has to put in a time off request to attend? What? He always thought Heaven would be easy, but it turns out everyone has a continued purpose.
Even when you’re ethereally elevated.
This book is for fans of It’s A Wonderful Life and A Christmas Carol. It is an entirely stand-alone novel, told from multiple perspectives. However, it does follow a linear timeline from the first three books in the Goodwater Ranch series—The Cowboy, The Movie Star, and The Marine. It can be read alone or in order as part of a larger world.
It is a small-town, contemporary Christian romance, and most characters cross over into each book.
