The Christmas We Kept: A Dahlonega Christmas Novel

By Glory Stalvey

In Dahlonega, Georgia, Christmas fills the historic square with twinkling lights, carriage rides and candlelight.

For Evie Callaway, the season means familiar recipes, a full table and the people she loves gathered beneath one roof.

This year, she wants them all at Whitfield Ridge.

The mountain home holds a lifetime of memories, and Evie is determined to give her family a Christmas worth remembering. There will be favorite dishes, well-worn traditions and plenty of room for everyone. At least, that's the plan.

But grown children bring lives of their own. Familiar relationships carry feelings that don't disappear just because it's Christmas. And beneath the preparations, laughter and crowded kitchen, questions about the family's future are becoming harder to set aside.

Evie has spent much of her life taking care of everyone else. As the holiday brings her loved ones closer, she begins to consider what she needs, too and how to make room for it without losing the things she treasures.

Set against the old-fashioned Christmas charm of Dahlonega, The Christmas We Kept is a warm, tender women's fiction novel about marriage, sisters, grown children and the changing shape of home. With gentle humor and the complications of family life, Glory Stalvey tells a story about the traditions we cherish, the people we hold close and the courage it takes to face what comes next.
