Christmas with Cameron Stinking Miller by Martha Fouts

Our Christmas decorations are packed away and not accessible, and I really needed a Christmas backdrop for this book.  So, I decided to bring Christmas with Cameron Stinking Miller to Costco with me as I knew they would have some decorations out.  I had my husband stand watch as I took pictures with the most accessible Christmas decorations I could find. I must admit I am pleased with the results, and Costco has not revoked my membership. (I heard they can do that if you have too many returns)   

Christmas with Cameron Stinking Miller by Martha Fouts tells the story of Hannah Orwell and  Cameron Miller  who grew up together at the same church.   Hannah has just come back to town to host the Morning show Rise and Shine and connects with Cameron the middle school football coach.  They are both roped in, I mean asked to help with the annual Christmas play by Maureen, their pastor’s wife. 

Our story follows Hannah and Cameron as they untangle the hurts of their past to build a new future together.  I enjoyed their alternating points of views, text messages, and stories from elementary and middle school sprinkled throughout the book.   It was a pleasure to watch the characters change and grow with the backdrop of the town of Cool Springs and the Christmas play.  

This is a memorable Christmas story that  weaves in themes of redemption, love, and caring for your neighbor.  I am adding this to the category of classic Christmas stories that I read every year at Christmas like The Best Christmas Pageant Ever!   I highly recommend Christmas with Cameron Stinking Miller by Martha Fouts. 

I was given a copy by the author and not required to write a positive review.  

Martha Fouts and her husband, Kevin, are the lead pastors of Discovery Church in Yukon, Oklahoma. They are blessed with stinky socks, a huge grocery bill, a car filled with sports equipment, lots of noise, and everything else that life with three teenage sons brings. In the current season, Martha’s life is loud, busy, and chaotic, and she reminds herself daily that decades ago doctors told her that these children of hers would never exist – then she praises the Lord for her messy home!

Martha is also a high school English teacher. She loves helping students discover a love for reading and writing, and she’s the type of teacher that students can easily veer off topic by getting her to talk about books. She is passionate about writing and has written novels and Bible studies. In her free time, her favorite thing to do is sit outside with a cup of coffee and her laptop and write devotionals, Christian fiction, and sweet romances. Her favorite books are those that blend romance and humor and point people to Jesus.
