From New York Times and USA Today bestselling
author Heather Graham, a wondrous Christmas story to be
reread and cherished anew each yearβ¦
Jon and Julie
Radcliff are facing the last Christmas of a marriage in
trouble. The love they once shared has been tattered by time
and torn apart by divergent goals. Their teenagers, Christie
and Jordan, are rebellious, and their youngest child,
six-year-old Ashley, is showing the hurt and confusion of
her familyβs turmoil.
Yet somehow the Christmas
season must be gotten through, even if their holiday spirit
is only pretend. The perfect place for this is the Oak River
Plantation, where the Radcliffs are promised a traditional
Christmas. So imagine their surprise when they are met by
the quaint couple in charge, Jesse and Clarissa Wainscott,
dressed in costumes dating from before the Civil War. Have
they somehow entered a place that spans the gulf between
past and present?
Before Jon and Julie and their
children can uncover the secrets surrounding their
mysterious but marvelous hosts, they become aware of some
profound truths about themselves. They discover that love
lost can be found, making the bond of marriage and family
strong enough to surviveβeven triumph.
