Welcome to tiny Port Mariette, Pennsylvania, where three women in their late fifties reunite at Christmastime, facing tangled relationships with one another and the men in their lives.

Marla rushes from Manhattan to her daughter’s side in a quiet Port Mariette hospital, determined to strengthen their relationship by backing her daughter’s dream project, no matter the cost. She wins support from the town’s general contractor, but fierce local opposition arises, spearheaded by her longtime friend Rachel.

Meanwhile, newlywed Suzanne, scarred by fears and heartbreaks, returns to Port Mariette from California, where the earth subsiding beneath her home threatens both her retirement savings and her marriage. Seeking refuge in the familiar embrace of friends, Suzanne finds herself boxed into a financial corner while navigating the delicate dynamics of friendship and rivalry.

Amidst the holiday cheer and twinkling lights, Rachel stands as a pillar of the community, deeply rooted in the small town she’s never left. Yet her steadfastness falters as she grapples with her own insecurities and desires. Unwittingly, she stirs a pot of conflict that strains her relationships with everyone who matters to her.

In this small town tale of love, friendship, faith, and forgiveness, these women will discover growth can emerge from the ashes of the past and that change is possible at any age.

I really enjoy Christian Fiction books. 'Tis the Time, 'Tis the Season by Chris Posti is the latest in this genre that I have read. It is Book 3 in the Next Act series. I have been enjoying this series and was excited to read this book also.

I truly LOVE this series. It is the Christmas Season and Suzanne, Rachel, and Marla, are back for another story. The friends are scattered across the country but end up back in their hometown of Port Mariette, Pennsylvania for Christmas. Marla's daughter is in the hospital and Marla is trying her best to mend the relationship with her biological daughter. Suzanne is seeking comfort from her friends as she struggles with finances and her newlywed marriage. Rachel has been a amazing citizen to their hometown but is going through some life situations and needs the support of her friends. I really LOVE the bond these women have and they are there for each other. The book is really heartwarming and has a strong faith message. The book is one of friendships, bonds, family and Faith. I HIGHLY Recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian Fiction, especially the over-50 crowd! WONDERFUL BOOK!

More from Chris

I wrote “’Tis the Time, ‘Tis the Season” (third book in the “Next Act” series) for women in the second half of their lives – age 50 to 100 – who want characters they can relate to, women who are facing challenges and overcoming them – along with a mix of faith, fun, and later-in-life romance.

When the Lord gave me the idea for the first book in this series, I had no idea it would morph into a trilogy. That’s the way it is with our Lord. He lights our path, we keep walking. Now, He has directed me to write a pilot for a TV series, and that’s what I’m working on right now. I pray one day you will see these characters come to life on your television screen. If you have a moment, would you offer up a prayer right now for that to happen? Thank you so much.
