About the book: Baby, It’s Cold Outside
Hope finds the hopeless when a storm hits.
It’s Christmas weekend 1949, and despite the threat of a storm, the townspeople of Frost are determined to continue their holiday traditions, if only as a means to forget the war that they had all just suffered through. But the suffering hasn’t ended for Dottie Morgan who lost her only son in the war. She’s preparing to wallow in her isolation for the weekend, when Violet, nearly a spinster at age 29, dares to make a request that will force Dottie to publicly revive the memory of her dead son.
When a storm traps the two women at home with a strange young man who has an unbelievable confession and a neighbor with more to do with Violet’s past than she would like, no one can predict how this Christmas will give them all a second chance.

MY THOUGHTS
Baby It’s Cold Outside…by Susan May Warren
Dottie just didn’t feel like celebrating Christmas because of losing her son Nelson. And she didn’t care that she wasn’t going to let Violet borrow the Star that Nelson made when he was young to go on the tree in front of the Community Center. She just didn’t want anything to do with life or Christmas. But it seems as though God had a different Christmas for Dottie than she was expecting to have. It ends up that four people, were stranded with Dottie in her house because of a snow storm that dumped enough snow in the town of Frost that no one could go anywhere.
Since I am a huge fan of Susan May Warren’s, I jumped at the chance of reading this Christmas book, and what a story it is! With a cast of characters created so original and unique in this town of Frost, Minnesota, Susan gives us a wonderful story of dysfunctional people in this dysfunctional world with issues, imperfection and flaws that only God can intervene and change their lives for the better. I loved this heartwarming story of Dottie, Violet, Jack, Gordy and Arnie and what happens while they are stranded together.
I really don’t want to give anything away to ruin the book for you, so just go out and grab a copy and read it for yourself. You will not be disappointed!
I was provided a copy of this book from LitFuse Publicity Group. I want to thank Amy for making sure I rec’d this book, even though the publisher didn’t send it in time for the tour. The opinions in this review are mine only.
