My Thoughts

Erma Ullrey is a new-to-me author. Sadie's Gift: The Christmas Cabin is an enjoyable read, with engaging characters. With a snowed in setting in McCall, Idaho, I knew it was a story I had to read, especially this time of year...in Florida.

I enjoyed watching the relationship between Brooke and Jack grow (or regrow), but sometimes their reluctance to truly communicate with each other was a tad frustrating. I was happy to see their relationship with God grow throughout the story.

If you enjoy sweet, Christian romance, with Hallmark story vibes, I recommend adding Sadie's Gift to your 2026 TBR list.

I received a complimentary copy through Celebrate Lit and these opinions are my own.
