In bestseller Elin Hilderbrand's first Christmas novel, a
family gathers on Nantucket for a holiday filled with
surprises.
Kelley Quinn is the owner of Nantucket's Winter Street Inn
and the proud father of four, all of them grown and living
in varying states of disarray. Patrick, the eldest, is a
hedge fund manager with a guilty conscience. Kevin, a
bartender, is secretly sleeping with a French housekeeper
named Isabelle. Ava, a school teacher, is finally dating
the
perfect guy but can't get him to commit. And Bart, the
youngest and only child of Kelley's second marriage to
Mitzi, has recently shocked everyone by joining the
Marines.
As Christmas approaches, Kelley is looking forward to
getting the family together for some quality time at the
inn. But when he walks in on Mitzi kissing Santa Claus (or
the guy who's playing Santa at the inn's annual party),
utter chaos descends. With the three older children each
reeling in their own dramas and Bart unreachable in
Afghanistan, it might be up to Kelley's ex-wife, nightly
news anchor Margaret Quinn, to save Christmas at the
Winter
Street Inn.
Before the mulled cider is gone, the delightfully
dysfunctional Quinn family will survive a love triangle,
an
unplanned pregnancy, a federal crime, a small house fire,
many shots of whiskey, and endless rounds of Christmas
caroling, in this heart-warming novel about coming home
for
the holidays.
