Winter Magic on Railway Lane by Alison Sherlock

4.0

This book aproaches so many things. We can see grief, sadness, disabilities and at the same time friendship, kindness, a sense of community and love. 

Libby returns home after being fired from her job as a flight assistant. But.. hey, maybe it's a good thing as she can now go all in as a chocolate maker (her dream job and passion). 
Ethan's a electric engineer, that is home for a small amount of time to help his dad and grandad help with the steam train. In the beggining he feels that he doen't belong and then he starts to crave all the familiar thing he once wanted to run away from. 

Libby and Ethan were once friends, but even in their teen years, they had a thing for each other, but some bad things happened, and they grew very appart. Being in the same small town and constantly into each other company makes them reignite their friendship and them makes them fall for each other all over again. But it's a slow, slow, slow burn in this one. 
Their path isn't an easy one. They must struggle to find their place and feel worthy of what they can accomplish.  They have an amazing support system (friends and family) to help them, and it's endearing to see them all helping them when they need!

The story has a fall kind of vive and then all of a Chistmassy feeling. It makes us want a cozy blanket and just enjoy the ride!
