It’s almost Christmas in the Land (and let’s not talk about how fast this year has gone!).
Dr. Lydia Bradshaw is busy with her medical practice, and also wishing she could fall pregnant again. Meanwhile, she’s having to cope with some strange maladies in the village. At Falls Creek, Philip Roberts is wishing for a wife when three strangers arrive to stay, one of whom catches his attention … and I think this is introducing the next story in the series. If so, I’m already looking forward to it.
Uncharted Christmas is a quick read that those who have read the previous Uncharted books will enjoy.
If you haven’t read any of the previous Uncharted books, I recommend starting at the beginning – while Uncharted Christmas is a standalone story, you’ll enjoy it more if you understand the backstory and know some of the characters.
Revisiting those familiar characters is one of the reasons I keep reading and enjoying the Uncharted series. It’s an original and enjoyable twist on a dystopian future – as the characters are living in the future, but with nineteenth-century technology. And it’s a fun and easy evening or weekend read.
The other thing I like is the way the character’s Christian faith is interwoven smoothly into the story. Sure, some of the characters struggle (like we do in real life), but they are always pointed back to God. I found the quote at the top of this review particularly reassuring. It’s good to be reminded that we don’t have to chase God, because He is always beside us and will make His will clear to us … if we’re looking.
Recommended for those who’ve enjoyed previous Uncharted stories, or those who would like to try a historical romance with a unique twist

About Uncharted Christmas
Every woman but her, that is.
While the haze from the volcanic ash cloud outside the Land looms on the horizon, calls for the doctor force Lydia to work around the clock. Torn between fighting for the home life she craves and the career that defines her, Lydia needs a Christmas miracle.
Meanwhile, at Falls Creek…
Philip Roberts spends his lonely nights in the parsonage next to the humble chapel. Pastoring the church across from the Land’s only inn means encouraging many a road-worn traveler to carry on, whatever their journey might be. Philip also watches the ever-changing rotation of guests for the one person he prays will stay at Falls Creek forever.
Only he doesn’t know her name.
When the Vestal siblings break their journey to Good Springs at the inn for a much needed respite over Christmas, Philip is fascinated with the demure Lena Vestal. As he tries to get to know her, she stirs in him more questions than answers.
Can he discover who this intriguing woman truly is in such a short time, and is she the one he’s been waiting for?
