Why read it?

1 author picked O Little Town of Bethlehem as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

If a book could be infused with apple cider, this one succeeds. I love this cozy story about people trying to take care of one another disguised as a portal fantasy. It takes you to a town that only exists in the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas and a woman who’s in desperate need of a second chance. Taking that chance is hard, though, even when it’s offered. 

It makes me think of Brigadoon but with a modern twist. I deeply enjoyed watching the main character grow as she helped those around her.
