"Christmas at Grey Sage"
by Phyllis Clark Nichols
by Phyllis Clark Nichols
Nestled in the snow-covered Sangre de Cristo Mountains near Santa Fe, the Grey Sage Inn looks like the perfect place for weary travelers to escape the craziness of the Christmas season. There's plenty to see in historic Santa Fe during the day, and the inn's owners, Maude and Silas Thornhill, are happy to spend their evenings hosting this year's guests from across the country.
But an unusual snowstorm throws a wrench in the festive mood. The sprawling inn becomes close quarters as stranded guests discover this Christmas won't be the relaxed vacation they expected. Tension and fear mount as the storm worsens, and Silas, a retired doctor, is called away in the middle of the night to care for a neighbor. The snow and stress unlocks tongues--and in the unexpected conversation that follows, secrets and pasts are revealed, and hearts are healed.
In the midst of snowdrifts and fireside conversations, of tales of days gone by, the warmth of Christmas brings a renewed hope as these trapped strangers become friends--proof again that the joy, hope, peace, and love of Christmas can be experienced no matter where you are.

The first couple of chapters are kind of slow going, but after you get into the story you will not want to put it down. Everyone has something they are running from or trying to hide, but when they are trapped together during a snowstorm those secrets and Christmases past all come to light. So what are you running from this Christmas? Is there something you are trying to hide? Well just remember the true meaning of Christmas and THE ONE Who gave everything for us!!!
