Review by Kathleen Maher

Ms. Bliss has crafted an unforgettable Christmas love story, set in –where else?—Bethlehem. New Hampshire, that is. Set in the snow-capped White Mountains in 1890 with romantic sleigh-rides, breath-taking imagery and powerful emotion, Love finds you in Bethlehem, New Hampshire delivers a sweeping romance that keeps the reader guessing until the last page how two souls as different and yet the same as artist Tom Haskins and Sara McGee, the New York City orphan, will forge a life together. Each character, from romantic rival Annabelle Loving to Claire Haskins, Tom’s devoted sister, to an assortment of supporting cast, lends dimension to this tale of two different worlds coming together in love. Can Tom overcome latent prejudices to see beyond the superficial to a soul rich in the important things? Can Sara find the pluck and courage to overcome disadvantage and find confidence to be the bride of a world-class artist? This rags-to-riches tale left me turning the pages to find the answers. I read it in one day, which is unusual for me. I found I could relate to the heroine’s plight more than most romances with Bliss’s careful and authentic rendering. She had me crying by page 33, and uplifted and satisfied with an inspiring conclusion. A must-read for your holiday season, or any time.
