Easton and its favorite son Colonel Peter Kichline have reason to rejoice-the Revolutionary War is finally over! Against all possible odds, General Washington’s troops have prevailed against the world’s mightiest military. Peter believes the time has come to win the peace, but when a former villager, married to a missing British officer, wants to come home, the townspeople don’t exactly roll out the welcome mat. Meanwhile, newlywed Erin Miles Bassett is looking forward to a Hallmark-worthy Christmas while collaborating with a celebrated historian and author. She’s experiencing a season most people would envy, and while life is just about perfect, getting everyone else to cooperate is like herding cats. A brash businessman blindsides her. A sudden illness threatens her holiday plans, and certain family members have very different ideas about the ideal Christmas.

Join Peter and Erin as they discover the real blessing of the season isn’t a stunning tree- but the Perfect Gift.

Easton at Christmastide, a story of epic failure and amazing grace, is book five in the much-loved and award-winning Easton Series about two people, over two hundred years apart, joined by blood ties, parallel experiences, and a winsome town beckoning come home.
