What I Thought:
Short story collection, y'all know what that means... separate reviews!

Home for Christmas: This was a beautiful story.  The sibling love, the romance, the letters - I teared up at the end, I have to say.  It was just perfect.  I felt like I was watching a Christmas special and I loved it.
Unexpected Blessing: This was probably my least favorite story in the collection, but I think that's because it was so short that I didn't have time to really get attached to the characters.  But it was still super sweet and I enjoyed it!  Another great one with sibling love; the sibling relationships in this collection were amazing.
Christmas Homecoming: I... I want to say that this was my favorite story.  But like, that's a big step because they were all fabulous.  But Jamison and Emma and the coat-swaddled Jamie and the heart-filling ending, ahh, I just loved it.  It made me so happy. 
What Matters: I haven't read Dandelion Dust (I know, I'm going to fix that soon), so I almost hesitated to read this story but by the time I had glanced at the first page, I was hooked.  And oh my word, this was the cutest thing ever?  I loved it so much?  It was just so pure and it was just straight joy on the page and I loved reading it.

Overall Rating: 4.5 happy homecomings out of 5
