This Christmas, the perfect gift might just be learning to let go and love the chaos.
It's Christmastime, and Olivia Bradshaw is dating her childhood neighbor, veterinarian Malcolm McEntire. Life should be merry, but Olivia is worried about her mother Jane's reaction to this budding romance. Their families couldn't be more different. Perfectionist Jane cannot tolerate the unorganized, messy, fun‑loving McEntires, and the thought of being permanently linked as in‑laws will surely send her over the edge.
Desperate to save both Christmas and her romance, Olivia and her dad concoct an intervention to turn Jane's holidays into a big mess. But they barely launch their plan before fate intervenes with a serendipitous mess of its own.
In this delightful Christmas novella full of faith and hope, Melody Carlson delivers small‑town charm, family dynamics, and a sweet contemporary romance perfect for the holiday season.
