In a charming Maine seaside town, a single mother longs
to create a memorable Christmas for her two daughters—and
receives a chance to make her own wishes come true, in this
heartwarming novel from bestselling author Holly Chamberlin.
At first glance, Nell King’s cozy home in Yorktide, Maine,
seems a step down from the impeccably decorated Boston house
she shared with her husband. But in the six years since he
abruptly left to marry another woman, Nell and her
almost-grown daughters have found real happiness and comfort
here. Now, faced with what may be their last Christmas
together before Molly and Felicity move away, Nell suddenly
feels anxious. She gave up her own ambitions when she
married. With the daily obligations of motherhood coming to
an end, what role is left for her to fill?
Twenty-one-year-old Molly has never forgiven her father for
walking out, though she worries about sacrificing her
independence the way her mother did. Should she stay in
Maine with her dependable boyfriend, or move to the city and
prove herself? Felicity, meanwhile, is torn between loyalty
to Nell and wanting to spend time with her glamorous, ski
champion stepmother. Nell is eager to cement the bond with
her daughters by making this holiday picture-perfect. But
there’s a complication—and an opportunity . . .
Nell’s first and greatest love, now a successful novelist,
has arrived in town for a book signing. As the two rekindle
their friendship, Nell confronts the choices and compromises
she once made in the name of stability. And as the coming
days unfold with revelations and unexpected gifts, this
Christmas promises to herald a bright new beginning.
