Christmas at Goodwater Ranch. Goodwater Ranch, #5

Four storylines. Three women. Two weddings. And a whooooole lot of souls. Christmas in Goodwater Ranch is a spirit-filled time, both literally and figuratively. On earthThree women, intertwined by fate and now the best of friends, contemplate their futures.-Bea, the golden retriever of the group who has faith that can move mountains, is hopelessly in love and finally getting married.-Simone, the practical entrepreneur of the three, is suffering from post-partum depression, regular depression, or both.-Ophelia, the newly elected mayor of Goodwater Ranch, is engaged to the man of her dreams after he swooped in and rescued her from a harrowing, life-threatening ordeal. As it is in HeavenWalter Callahan is dead.
Correction: Not dead. 'Ethereally elevated.' The last time he saw his grandson, Elijah, was a senior in high school. Now, Elijah's getting married tomorrow? And Walter has to put in a time off request to attend? What? He always thought Heaven would be easy, but it turns out everyone has a continued purpose. Even when you're ethereally elevated. This book is for fans of It's A Wonderful Life and A Christmas Carol.
It is an entirely stand-alone novel, told from multiple perspectives. However, it does follow in a linear timeline from the first three books in the Goodwater Ranch series-The Cowboy, The Movie Star, and The Marine. It can be read alone or in order as part of a larger world. It is a small-town, contemporary Christian romance, and most of the characters cross over into each book.
