Hello Friends :)
I pray today finds you all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess.
A couple of years ago I discovered the wonderful Tales from Grace Chapel Inn series by accident, and it instantly became a new favorite.
It's a such a heartwarming, faith filled small town series, and I've been enjoying working my way through the many titles.
If you'd like to check out some of my reviews of the earlier books in the series, you can do so using the links below:
Now I hope you'll keep on reading down below for my review of the seventh title in the series!

My Review:
Tales From Grace Chapel Inn has become a new favorite for me, and Home for the Holidays ended up being my favorite story of the series so far. As wonderful as all the stories have been, there was just something special about getting to visit Grace Chapel Inn during the holiday season, and follow along with Alice, Jane and Louise as their long awaited "vacation" from guests turns out to be anything but.
When five visitors to Acorn Hill end up being stranded, the three sisters decide to do their part to try and make them welcome. This starts off as offering their services as tour guides to some of the local historic homes, and turns into the sisters having unexpected house guests. As they all struggle to come to terms with the fact that this Christmas is going to be unlike anything they could have imagined, they'll also learn what it means to have a true spirit of giving, and show hospitality to those in need this holiday season.
A truly wonderful story that will give every reader a case of the warm fuzzies, I never wanted this one to end, and I'm so glad I read it during the Christmas season. I loved how many new to me historical tidbits I learned from reading it, and I also loved how it touched on some more emotional moments from the sisters' precious memories of their childhood Christmas memories.
Final Rating: 5/5.
I adored this heartwarming story, and I can't recommend it enough. I'm also looking forward to trying to included beef stroganoff recipe in the very near future.
Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)
