My Thoughts
4 novella length Christmas type historical romance clean fiction stories based in the 1880’s as women employees of Woolworth’s Department store in Scranton, PA find love.
Having grown up in Pennsylvania and still living here I was tickled to see a book revolving around Woolworth’s Department store five and dime that I vividly remember going to as a child. It wasn’t the Scranton location but one of Pittsburgh, PA areas.
Each of the four stories is by a different author and a delight to read. We follow the lives of the co-workers and how they meet their perspective mates. Uplifting Christmas time stories. I enjoyed seeing the bible verses in this clean read. This old fashioned style book has a magical feel to it and a wonderful Christmas vibe.
