Known for her heartwarming observations of family life, New York Times bestselling author Nancy Thayer showcases her beloved Nantucketโs snowy off-season in this emotionally gratifying and utterly entertaining story.
Holidays on this Massachusetts island are nothing short of magical, and the seasonโs 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 Nicoleโs chilly stepdaughter, Kennedy, who arrives without a hint of holiday spirit. Determined to keep her stepmother at armโs lengthโor, better yet, out of the picture altogetherโKennedy schemes to sabotage Nicoleโs holiday preparations. Nicole, however, is not about to let anyone or anything tarnish her first Christmas with her new husband.
