Welcome to Thornwaite, a quaint village tucked up in
England’s beautiful but rainy Lake District… where
homecomings happen and surprises are in store for the
four Holley sisters…
Anna Holley, the third of four sisters, has always felt a
little bit forgotten. A family tragedy when she was a
child had her retreating deep into shyness, and social
anxiety kept her on the fringes of the cozy chaos of the
busy vicarage.
After several years away from home, Anna returns for
Christmas... and an important announcement from her
father. As much as she once loved the village, coming
back is hard and puts Anna's social capabilities to the
test.
Avoiding her sisters’ bossy questions, she heads out to
the local pub one night, and meets a handsome stranger
nursing a pint. Somehow, unburdened by expectations,
Simon seems like the perfect person to spill all her
secrets to—including a hopeless, long-held crush on her
sister’s boyfriend. Confident she’ll never see him again,
Anna returns home… only to discover the next day that
Simon is actually her father’s new curate!
Anna is beyond mortified, but Simon won’t let her retreat
into her usual shyness—and for once Anna is forced to
confront the past, and all the fears and feelings she’d
tried so long to hide. But with his own heartache that
needs to heal, can Simon help Anna to make this the most
magical Christmas either of them have known?
