Seeking the Star
By Traci Borum
Genre: Women's/Christian Fiction
Publisher: Red Adept Publishing
Synopsis: One December night, in the sleepy Cotswold village of Chilton Crosse, a drifter named Ben collapses on George and Mary Cartwright’s snow-covered doorstep. As Christmas cheer spreads throughout the village with a Dickens-themed festival, Mary nurses Ben back to health, but she becomes curious about the secrets he seems to carry.
On Christmas Eve, one of Ben’s secrets accidentally comes to light, forcing him to confront the darkness of his past and to rediscover the faith he once knew.
Review: This is a lovely Christmas story which centers on three characters: George and Mary Cartwright, and young Ben, who turns up on their doorstep near Christmas. We get to know all three of them through the author's brilliant writing.
This faith-based story is perfect for this time of year. It is about hospitality, friendship, Christmas, faith and grief.
The end of this story left me hoping for a sequel which will let us know how Ben's story plays out.
Rating: Four stars

About the author
Traci Borum is an insatiable bookworm whose first love is fiction. As a little girl, she became mesmerized with books—with the textures, the smells, and most especially, the worlds created between the pages. Years later, she discovered she could create her own worlds by writing. She’s been scribbling away ever since, writing bits of poetry, articles, and especially fiction.
Traci has been a Creative Writing teacher at a community college for the past ten years. She's a native Texan and an Anglophile at heart. She owns two "British" dogs—a Corgi and a Sheltie—and she’s completely addicted to Masterpiece Theater (must be those dreamy British accents!). More than anything, she treasures the friendships in her life and adores her supportive family.
