New Review! Christmas at Fort Gifford by Jordan Elizabeth 4 Cranky Stars

Christmas at Fort Gifford by Jordan Elizabeth
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 CRANKY STARS


This is a well written story about a young lady’s love for a historical replication of an early Fort Gifford. She has been working there since she was a young kid. I’m only giving it 4 out of 5 stars due to the short length of the story. When I see a classification of historical novel, this wasn’t what I was expecting. I was hoping for a bit more background on the fort. The fort is in a small town in upstate New York and tours of the fort make enough to keep it afloat. The staff are all volunteers. Suddenly, the staff is told that all but one volunteer will be fired and that one will become a paid position. The fort will only be opened on weekends.


When a new volunteer shows up on the day, they are given this news the staff is devastated, and Mauve isn’t going to take it. She starts up a campaign to save the fort. Since the new volunteer is a history professor, she falls for him of course. However, she has a boyfriend she needs to break up with. The rest of the storyline is about the interactions of these three characters. It ended all to quickly with a predictable ending.
