title: A Joyous Season
author: Gordish, Aretta
description: A Joyous Season is book three in the Our Life in Snowflake Falls series. Magnus Engle is searching for something to help end the discontentment in his life. He didn’t know exactly what he was looking for, he just knew he didn’t have it. He hoped moving back to Snowflake Falls would help him to find whatever it was he was looking for. Unbeknownst to him, he wouldn’t have to look for very long. A newcomer had arrived to Snowflake Falls not long after Magnus had arrived. His brother-in-law, Rev. Charles Wright, the pastor of St. Timothy Lutheran Church, and his sister, Irene, would be opening their home to Charles’ sister, Abbigail Wright. Abbigail was also looking for something to bring joy to her life. She couldn't go back in time and rewrite her bad choices, but she hoped she could fix her mistakes in the small, quiet town where she wouldn't be judged or looked down upon. Sadly, she would come to learn that a small town was the worst place to be if you had a secret to hide. Magnus and Abbigail would together come to learn that in their season of discontentment, a joyous season would arise. It would burst through their hardened hearts like a flooded river after a long rain. The joy would overflow and completely wash away all their sadness. For many years they had simply been looking in the wrong places. It had always been right there, waiting patiently for them to come home to Snowflake Falls.
