This Christmas, come home to Fairbrook, the setting for Judy
Duarte's uplifting, heartwarming novels, where friendship,
faith, and some extra-special providence will make it a
holiday to remember.
Fairbrook is a town tailor-made for Christmas, with
beautiful old houses dotting quaintly named streets like
Sugar Plum Lane and Nutcracker Court. But not everyone is
eager for the holidays to arrive. Cash-strapped single mom
Carly Westbrook worries about providing a merry Christmas
for her boys. It doesn't help that they've been having
run-ins with neighbor Max Tolliver, an aspiring novelist
stricken with writer's block. Then there's Grant Barrows, a
formerly wealthy businessman whose heart seems to have
shrunk along with his bank balance.
Some folks are still determined to make the season
sparkle--like the Diamond Lils, a ladies' group that meets
weekly to play poker and socialize. This year, they're
looking to do some good deeds--and wealthy widow Lynette
thinks that a little matchmaking between Grant and Carly
would be a perfect place to start.
Yet Christmas is a season for surprises. And sometimes, the
gifts we never expected turn out to be the most precious of
all.
A warm, uplifting story with caring characters. A Christmas story that I did not want to put down! (Cathy Genna 12:38pm December 4, 2011)
WoW! What a fantastic first chapter! I guess it is a good thing that I don't have the book here, because I would be up all night reading it! LOL I definitely would not have been able to put it down, by the sound of that first chapter! Darn! Now I will have to wait till after the Holidays and see if I can fit it into the budget - or perhaps go to town and check at the library. Great Job! I can hardly wait to read the whole book! Hope you and yours have a Wonderful Holiday Season! Toodles..... Uekiya (Cheri Minott 3:05am December 4, 2011)
