Synopsis
Fifty years ago, during the Vietnam War, Lee Elbridge fell in love with an Army cook nicknamed Yuletide Karol, but they haven’t seen each other since.
Now, led by a clue in an old cookbook, Lee sets off on a road trip to find his lost love. He arrives on Karol's upstate New York farm to find preparations for a handfasting in full swing, and is mistaken for the wedding planner’s assistant. As Lee is roped into folding hemp napkin goats and mashing fresh sweet potatoes, he is welcomed by Karol's large, eccentric family of witches and pagans. When Lee and Karol finally get a moment alone, Lee tells him the truth, but it will take more than a little Yuletide magick to bring them together again after almost a lifetime.
Review
This
is my absolute favorite Christmas story this year. Between all the other
beautiful stories I read, between all those lovely long or short beauties, all
those wonderful stories about love, sexiness, and steamy hotness, beautiful
personalities, I loved them all, but this? This is a gem.
I
didn’t expect it, but it is, period!
It’s
about love, yeah, I can hear you thinking... of course it’s about love.
But
not just love, it’s about long-lost love. One precious love. A love where the
magical forces of the universe are working, where tectonics are moving.
“My
brown-eyed boy”
During
the Vietnam war fifty years ago, Lee met and fell in love with nicknamed army
cook Yuletide Karol. They made a promise. Only, they never saw each other
again. Lee never found Karol again.
Now
fifty years later Lee gets a gift, a cooking book made by a man named Karol.
The
end of the searching seems near. Lee takes his car and drives and drives.
From
the moment he steps over the threshold it seems as if the universe is doing its
magic.
I
know I’m a crybaby but oh my goodness I couldn’t stop, I’m writing my review
with blurry eyes. What a wonderful precious story. I was deeply impressed!
I can
tell a lot more, but I won’t. Just read it!

You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a Vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, But how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity, I can help you solve any problem you are having
