What can I say about "Christmas at Copper Mountain" by Jane Porter? This novella fits so perfectly into the mix of Copper Mountain novellas, I wish I could move to Marietta and live. Harley and Brock's back stories made me want to cry, and still do. Two people who endured so much tragedy, coming together at Christmas, which is a time for magic and miracles. Harley is still trying to deal with the tragic loss of her family, especially her three children. Brock is raising his twins alone after the tragic-loss of his wife when they were 6 months old. Both are trying to get by, doing the best that they can. Harley takes the temporary job at Copper Mountain Ranch to get away because she doesn't want to do Christmas with her large family, with its many children, with hers gone. It seems like the perfect position, until Brock's twins arrive.The novella felt so much longer, there was so much emotion. The words escape me. I can say that this was an amazing story. My emotions ran the gamut with Harley. She is such a good person she couldn't let her feelings keep her from taking care of the twins and their father.I have said it before, and I will say it again. The novellas make you feel like you could pick up and move to Marietta and find a real town with all these people.
