Product Description
The new pastor in Covington discovers that the pastor from forty years ago was never ordained, and was therefore not qualified to marry anyone! With five long-standing marriages thrown into crisis, it's decided that the couples absolutely must remarry on Christmas Eve. With the church desperately in need of repairs, though, how can they get it ready in time? Sounds like a job for the ladies of Covington! But when last-minute obstacles threaten to stop the weddings, Grace, Hannah, and Amelia are going to need a miracle to turn Christmas Eve into a wedding day that no one will ever forget.

 With Grace's help, weddings come together. December 8, 2007
J. Kirkman (St. Petersburg, FL United States)
When new pastor Denny Ledbetter and Grace are going through the church attic cleaning out boxes of old church items from years ago, they come across a startling fact. Pastor Simms that was the preacher there 40 years ago was a fraud, and had never been ordained. He had married 5 couples, knowing it wasn't legal and took off before he was ever discovered.
When these couples who had been married for 40 years were told of this, they were thrown into crisis and knew that it must be made legal soon.
With the church in need of repair though, there would not be time before Christmas, or would there? With Grace in the picture, she takes the bull by the horns and forms a committee of helpers for a new paint job on the church, and new heating system since the old heater is down and it would be much too cold for 5 weddings on Christmas Eve Day.
At the last minute, everyone is scrambling to pull things off successfully, and Pastor Ledbetter is frantically driving to Tennessee for the new heating system when he gets caught in the snowstorm. But with any luck and prayers, things will come together well.

A surprising discovery in the church attic by Grace and young Pastor Denny Ledbetter necessitates five hasty weddings. However, the church is still reeking with smoke from the fire which destroyed Grace's home, and the ancient heating systme is faltering in the December cold. A Christmas miracle is needed so that the church will be ready for the weddings and other holiday festivities. The ladies of Covington--Grace, Hannah, and Amelia--take a back seat to young Pastor Ledbetter and ten of his parishioners in "A Covington Christmas". This book has a rather thin plot and was somewhat of a disappointment for me since I expected "the ladies" to be a more prominent part of this book. However, Pastor Ledbetter does promise to be an interesting character for future additions to the series.

This is the first book I have read in the Covington series. I thought it was great. The author makes the mountain ways and saying sound authentic- even though she is from the Virgin Islands.
I have never met anyone who found out their marriage was not valid, but this book definitely explored the topic and left you with lots to think about.
I loved the parts where the mysterious flowers showed up in the church. I also liked Denny, the minister, and the way he was always praying and how God answered his prayers.
This will not be the last Covington series I read. In fact, when I finish writing this review, I intend to buy the rest.
If you like the Appalachain Mountains, you will love this book.

I am hooked on the happenings in Covington. It is always fun to read the next installment of the saga of Hannah, Amelia and Grace and their community of friends. I think the title should have been Winter Weddings. There just wasn't too much Christmas. It was an enjoyable
read nevertheless. The mystery woman from Paris; the love revealed and renewed and some unresolved relationships leave the door open for more stories from Covington.
