About this listen

"This tender love story between two wounded people whom God brings together for healing is a book readers will enjoy anytime—but especially at Christmas"—Francine Rivers, New York Times bestselling author of Redeeming Love and A Voice in the Wind

Amid war and the fading dream of the Confederacy, a wounded soldier and a destitute widow discover the true meaning of Christmas—and sacrificial love.

Recently widowed, Aletta Prescott struggles to hold life together for herself and her six-year-old son. With the bank threatening to evict them, she discovers an advertisement for the Women's Relief Society auction and applies for a position—only to discover it's been filled. Then a chance meeting with a wounded soldier offers another opportunity—and friendship. But can Aletta trust this man?

Captain Jake Winston, a revered Confederate sharpshooter, suffered a head wound at the Battle of Chickamauga. When doctors deliver their diagnosis, Jake fears losing not only his greatest skill but his very identity. As he heals, Jake is ordered to assist with a local Women's Relief Society auction. He respectfully objects. Kowtowing to a bunch of "crinolines" isn't his idea of soldiering. But orders are orders, and he soon discovers this group of ladies—one, in particular—is far more than he bargained for.

Set against the backdrop and history of the Carnton Plantation in Franklin, Tennessee, Christmas at Carnton is a story of hope renewed and faith restored at Christmas.

I had no idea how much I love feel good books! I really like Tamera Alexander's books and this is no different. I wish it was longer, but it's short and sweet! My only problem is the narrator, it was way too fast, but I was able to slow it down to make it better!

short and sweet!

Tamera has taken us back in history again, with her wonderful story and attention to detail. Her writing is exquisite, which is why she's one of my favorites. I enjoyed the friendship between Tempy and Aleta. Jake and Aleta's journey is lovely, and a must read. I'm excited for the Carnton Series.

Another exceptional story from Tamera Alexander.

I have visited Carnton twice. I fell in love the first time and haven’t been able to forget about it or Franklin since. I live in Columbus GA and have all my life, but my heart has remained in Franklin. This book took me back there. It’s great and I can’t wait to read the others.

For the LOVE of Carnton and Franklin

I visited the Carnton plantation just outside of Nashville Tennessee and found this book, so I thought it would be a nice compliment to the visit. It was, nice interweave of history and a love story. Really gave me a picture of the times. I really liked the reader

Its worth your time to read this one.
