Chiseled on the Heart: A Christmas Legacy Novella Collection
383 pages · First published 2023
This Christmas novella collection follows one family legacy across generations of American history. The stories move from Revolutionary-era orphans traveling to relatives in Connecticut through later wars and family crises, with a carved lamb and nativity tradition linking acts of faith from one generation to the next. Each novella centers on characters facing grief, uncertainty, or separation during the Christmas season while discovering how inherited faith can become personally meaningful. Written by Elaine Marie Cooper, Kelly J. Goshorn, Cynthia Roemer, and Candace West, the collection combines historical romance and family continuity with a recurring symbol of hope.
