What Child Is This, book one in A Frost Family Christmas, by C.J. Carmichael. (Book two, Home for Christmas by Roxy Boroughs and book three, The Holly and the Ivy by Brenda Collins.)What Child Is This is a wonderful read! I enjoy C.J.'s style of writing. She keeps you interested, from start to finish. (I kept thinking what a great movie, this story would make.)This is not just a Christmas story. Garret and Lily are, both, overcoming tragedy in their lives, both are guarded, both trying to move forward with their lives. The characters, and story, are believable and you will love Garret's son, Duncan. Then a baby is found in a manger...enter mystery!Don't think you have it all figured out, when you finish What Child Is This ... continue on to book two.Home for Christmas is book two in A Frost Family Christmas.I didn't think I would like James (Jimmy) Frost. This well-written book teaches you about jumping to conclusions, though. When you find out what Jimmy is hiding, you root that much more for a happy ending, between him and April. There are complications, though, including the continued mystery of the baby found in a manger (you'll just have to read...no spoiler here!). Already knowing most of the characters, from book one, made it easy to transition into book two.The Holly and the Ivy, the final installment, in A Frost Family Christmas.The mystery is solved about Holly, the baby found in a manger. (Not the way I thought it would end, by the way.)Joey (Josephine) & Fletch are the main characters, in this book.  Joey has never forgotten Fletch (or how he hurt her). Fletch returns to town, taking the promotion Joey's been wanting, and becoming her boss. Joey must accept Fletch becoming her partner in discovering who baby Holly belongs to, while trying to keep her emotions in check.  (Buddy, the dog, was a nice addition ... with a twist, at the end.)BONUS STORY - The Gift, by C.J. Carmichael, is a short read about a little girl who shows up at kindergarten teacher Amy's door, on Christmas eve, changing everyone's plans for Christmas.
