When Nicole marries Sebastian she has grand visions of their
Christmas
together on Nantucket Island. A NANTUCKET CHRISTMAS is a
heartwarming tale that pulls you in right from the very
first page and stays
with you long after you have finished reading. Nicole is a
retired nurse and
has married later in life. Sebastian was married once
before to Katya and
they have a grown daughter together named Kennedy. Kennedy
is married
to James and they have a son named Maddox.
Kennedy and her family are coming to spend Christmas with
Nicole and
Sebastian. Kennedy is a spoiled brat and all she wants to
do is get her
father and mother back together. How can she do that if her
father is
married to Nicole? You have to read A NANTUCKET CHRISTMAS to
find
out. Kennedy is also very pregnant and that in itself plays
a big part in this
beautifully written Christmas tale. When Kennedy and her
family arrive on
the Island, she starts right in on coming between Nicole and
Sebastian. At
first, Nicole blames it on her pregnancy but after a day or
two she sees
right through what Kennedy is doing. She feels like she
doesn't belong in
the house. Especially since every chance she gets, Kennedy
reminds her
that the house used to be her mothers.
A huge storm hits Nantucket just before Christmas and
surprise surprise,
Katya shows up on Nicole's doorstep. With the storm and the
holidays
there are no more rooms in the inns and despite Nicole and
Sebastian's
objections they have no choice but to let her stay. Now A
NANTUCKET
CHRISTMAS really gets crazy. This was my first book by
Nancy but it
won't be my last. I love how real the story feels and felt
like I am right in the
middle of Nicole and Sebastian's living room drinking hot
chocolate and
catching up with everyone. I truly enjoyed reading A
NANTUCKET
CHRISTMAS and loved the message of family and how sometimes
you just
have to learn to put up with their antics even though you
really just want to
smack them over and over again! Nancy does a great job in
dealing with
the perils of being a step mother and how you have to take
the good with
the bad no matter how bad it is. A NANTUCKET CHRISTMAS is a
wonderful feel good Christmas story.
Known for her heartwarming observations of family life, New
York Times bestselling author Nancy Thayer showcases her
beloved Nantucket’s snowy off-season in this emotionally
gratifying and utterly entertaining story.
Holidays on this Massachusetts island are nothing short of
magical, and the season’s wonderful traditions are much
loved by Nicole Somerset, new to Nantucket and recently
married to a handsome former attorney. Their home is already
full of enticing scents of pine, baking spices, and homemade
pie.
But the warm, festive mood is soon tempered by Nicole’s
chilly stepdaughter, Kennedy, who arrives without a hint of
holiday spirit. Determined to keep her stepmother at arm’s
length—or, better yet, out of the picture altogether—Kennedy
schemes to sabotage Nicole’s holiday preparations. Nicole,
however, is not about to let anyone or anything tarnish her
first Christmas with her new husband.
