Book Takeaway:

That God is our Restorer and offers us grace

Why the author wrote this book:

Lenora, Betsy, and I are proud Louisiana girls, who wanted to bring some of the warmth, humor, and spirit of our home state’s Southern culture to the page. This collection idea began with a 2021 social media post. An “avid reader” of Christian fiction was compiling a list of Christmas books set in all 50 U.S. states and hadn’t listed one for Louisiana. I couldn’t think of a single title, and someone said, ‘why don’t you write one.’
Not long afterward, Lenora and Betsy were graciously on board, and the characters of Mattie, Jolene, Adale, and Granny drifted into our lives like a Louisiana snow. We had the best time planning and writing these stories and adding to our Pinterest board too.
