See all formats and editions

After the deaths of her mother and stepfather, twenty-year-old Carol Stone finds herself in reduced circumstances with two younger siblings to care for. The suggested marriage of convenience is out of the question, so she stalls for time. When Carol learns she is the sole heir of a small home in Carrie Town, a newly expanded railroad village, she throws caution to the Texas wind and packs her bags.

Though warned of the extreme change in lifestyle, she's shocked at the smallness of the Sunday House. And why didn't she think to ask about indoor plumbing?

Leaving her lifestyle of shopping, lavish parties and holiday endeavors for a simpler life is a temporary solution until she can make a match of her own design. Carol struggles to let go of the past, embrace the present, and hope for a better future. What she doesn’t bargain for is the handsome livery-stable owner, who understands the true meaning of family and Christmas. Will love conquer lavish?

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

In my first novel Rebecca's Hope, I introduced a western town in the late 19th century filled with colorful characters and innovative young women. Carol's Choice is a continuation of the tale and includes characters initially introduced in subsequent stories, such as Emma's Dream, Lois's Risk and Maggie's Strength.

After the deaths of her mother and stepfather, twenty-year-old Carol Stone finds herself in reduced circumstances with two younger siblings to care for. The suggested marriage of convenience is out of the question, so she stalls for time. When Carol learns she is the sole heir of a small home in Carrie Town, a newly expanded railroad village, she throws caution to the Texas wind and packs her bags.

Leaving her lifestyle of shopping, lavish parties and holiday endeavors for a simpler life is a temporary solution until she can make a better match of her own making. What Carol doesn't expect is to be smitten by a tall handsome livery stable owner, who understands the true meaning of family and Christmas. Will she be able to give up a more glamorous lifestyle for love?

Simply Wonderful!

Sometimes what the heart truly needs is right there in front of you. It may take you awhile to recognize it though.
Kimberly Grist has woven such a wonderful story of Carol, a young woman left to take care of her two young siblings after her her parents and step father have past away. She is pushed toward a marriage of convenience but makes a choice to go live in a house that was left to her in Texas. Her thoughts are to only stay for awhile and come back soon.
They are picked up by a Mark, a handsome gentleman who takes then to their home. The home is very small but she determines to make it work and more than that, she meets Mark's amazing mother and family.
With the voice of narrator Dave Cruse, who was truly amazing and the words of Kimberly Grist, this story warmed my heart and brought to mind what is truly important in life and the real meaning of Christmas with the Joy we can find everyday. I cannot wait to hear more!

Much like Garnet's Gift

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2019

Even though this book was a good read, it reminded me a lot of Garnet's Gift, by the same author. This book did not give as much of christian readings from the bible as the first book did. They both had happy endings, and like fairy tales they both were good. Still love the meaning of Christmas.

This was such a great story. Carol had been left to raise her brother and sister, but also had to move far away from what they had been used to. But coming to Carrie Town, and meeting the Montgomery family, particularly Mark, all things worked as they were meant to be! Love works all things out.

I enjoyed this delightful story about a young woman who with two young siblings flees a bad situation to live in a Sunday house she inherited. Great characters, some cute play on words, and an expansion of the true meaning of Christmas.

Christian Romance 1890's Christmas

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2020

Carol Stone 's father passed away then her step father and mother. Carol was left with a brother and sister to take care of. Her Uncle cared only about business and money so he gave Carol a small house in Carrie Town in the West in 1890. She got a small allowance to live on to support her and her siblings. She was picked up by at the train station by a handsome man who took her to a very tiny house. Carol did not expect it to be so tiny. The neighbors and friends were friendly. The kids seemed to like it there. Carol would have to learn what this type of life offered. Would she stay or would she go back east? Would she enjoy the vast differences in the different types of Christmas's than she was used to? Ms. Grist writes a truly wonderful story about the true meaning of Christmas. Comparing Dickens to the bible story of Jesus birth. I read this book in less than a day. I would recommend this book to teens and adults. I truly found this a wonderful story for any time of year.
