Welcome to Thornwaite, a quaint village tucked up in Englandβs beautiful but rainy Lake Districtβ¦ where homecomings happen and surprises are in store for the four Holley sistersβ¦
Anna Holley, the third of four sisters, has always felt a little bit forgotten. A family tragedy when she was a child had her retreating deep into shyness, and social anxiety kept her on the fringes of the cozy chaos of the busy vicarage.
After several years away from home, Anna returns for Christmas... and an important announcement from her father. As much as she once loved the village, coming back is hard and puts Anna's social capabilities to the test.
Avoiding her sistersβ bossy questions, she heads out to the local pub one night, and meets a handsome stranger nursing a pint. Somehow, unburdened by expectations, Simon seems like the perfect person to spill all her secrets toβincluding a hopeless, long-held crush on her sisterβs boyfriend. Confident sheβll never see him again, Anna returns homeβ¦ only to discover the next day that Simon is actually her fatherβs new curate!
Anna is beyond mortified, but Simon wonβt let her retreat into her usual shynessβand for once Anna is forced to confront the past, and all the fears and feelings sheβd tried so long to hide. But with his own heartache that needs to heal, can Simon help Anna to make this the most magical Christmas either of them have known?
