With chaos and confusion all around them, can they find their way home this Christmas?

The people in these four stories are all searching for something—an escaped convict, a job promotion from a love interest, connection to a lost parent, answers across time.

Christmas should be a time of wonder and celebration, but the obstacles each faces seem insurmountable. Even, at times, life-threatening.

Perhaps they will find what they are seeking during this season of miracles and hope. Or maybe, with God’s help, they will discover that the longing of their hearts takes them to places—and people—they didn’t even know they’d been searching for.

I’ll Be Home is a collection of four stories of faith, hope, love, (and trains) that will warm your heart, encourage your soul, and draw you home this Christmas.

Grab a cup of hot chocolate and settle in, because I'll be Home is the anthology you'll want to pick up and read this Christmas.

With a little bit of something for everyone, I'll Be Home features authors Darlene L. Turner, Helena Smrcek, Melanie Stevenson and Sara Davison. Each brings a unique uplifting story that is perfect for the Christmas season.

Mistletoe and Mayhem in the Rockies by Darlene L. Turner follows mystery writer Emory Burke who has agreed to spend Christmas at her sister's B & B ranch to get inspiration for her next book. Unfortunately, her sister is a schemer and invited Emory's ex-fiancé, Hunter Knight, in the hopes of getting them back together. What no one expects is a murder and Emory and Hunter join together to hunt down the killer, all while trying to keep the Christmas spirit alive in a house full of strangers.

Love Across Time by Helena Smrcek is a dual-time romance involving long-lost WWII love letters. Nick Mass is a grumpy real estate investor who meets his exact opposite in Joy Christenson, who embraces Christmas with the zeal of a child. Their unexpected find of WWII love letters sets them on a quest to find the owners.

Where My Heart Belongs by Melanie Stevenson follows Porsha who plans on spending Christmas on the beach but finds herself in a snowy cabin instead with a good-looking Santa Claus.

Just a Gilbert Blythe Kind of Girl by Sara Davison is for all those Anne of Green Gables fans. Lucy Main McQuaid loves Anne of Green Gables and growing up in P.E.I. had her always looking for her Gilbert Blythe. But, has he been under her nose all along?

Each one of these stories was a delight. If you love romance with a faith element, you will love all these stories. I highly recommend it!
