Gingerbread at Moonglow

Written by Deborah Garner

Narrated by Shaina Summerville

The small town of Timberton, Montana, boasts an ambiance of near-magical proportions during the Christmas season, due in no small part to resident artist and chef Mist's mysterious way of working small miracles in people's everyday lives. Each year, return guests and new arrivals mingle with local townsfolk to enjoy companionship, exquisite decor, and exceptional cuisine at The Timberton Hotel.

As the aromas of ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and molasses mix with heartfelt camaraderie and sweet romance, guests share reflections on family, friendship, and life. Although decorating the outside of a gingerbread house may prove easier than deciding what goes inside, no one leaves Timberton without renewed hope for the future.

Did you ever want to create a gingerbread house? At the Timberton Hotel, every detail is incredible. Your stay will be magical whether you're a first-time or recurring guest. Mist always surprises her guests, or maybe this time, there is a surprise for Mist.Are you a fan of gingerbread? Well, remember creating a gingerbread house means decorating. Do you like to decorate? You may have said no to both of my questions. You can participate with your presence, and no one will tell if you enjoy a sweet treat of delicious candy.What an enchanting Christmas delight created by hotel owner Betty, resident chef and artist Mist, and their friends, who never fail to add their unique talents. Friendships sparkle like twinkling lights, and guests quickly become family, whether arriving for a stay from out-of-state or coming from town to mingle and enjoy a breakfast or dinner reservation.This has become my favorite series to read at Christmas. I wish it were possible to step in between the book covers and experience the setting and hotel stay in Timberton, Montana. Imagine meeting the characters and being one of the returning guests. It is simply enchanting. Although it's not possible, and I can't invite you all to join me as a guest, I can highly recommend a visit by snuggling in your coziest Christmas setting with your favorite holiday drink and enjoying the ambiance with this year's guests by reading this story. You'll never forget the magic!p.s. Yes, this story can be enjoyed as a stand-alone, but I suggest starting with "Mistletoe at Moonglow" (Book 1) for the complete pleasure of the growth of friendships with sprinkles of Christmas stardust.

A truly satisfying, enjoyable read, wrapping the real Christmas spirit around you as you follow the lovable staff and delightful guests for the Christmas celebrations at the Timberton Hotel once again. A heartwarming simple story of days gone by without the need of technology, enjoying this magical season with love, friendships, kindness, tales around the fire, laughter and games. Not forgetting the most delicious cooking from Mist as she begins to prepare for the celebrations, the aromas from the kitchen not only work it's way around the hotel but into the readers mind. And the most realistic smell of orange pomanders Betty had organized for the guests drifted so easily into my mind! Mist, Betty, Clive and the gang are the most accommodating people you could wish for, giving to all their guests needs and more as they spread their special touches throughout the hotel. Mist as ever, with her spiritual creativity is an absolute delight. One special touch, and a fun opening to the story, was how one of these ideas went a little crazy, what followed was a story full of charm and a pleasure to read.Reading these stories by Deborah Garner has now become my tradition to the lead up to Christmas, I read this just before we started to put up the Christmas decorations, it was the perfect way to start my favorite time of the year. Numerous cookie recipes at the end of the book was a fabulous bonus to this uplifting read.
